I solved the problem in my case. There was a *Mail* widget class reference in one of the gtk rc script files that I found to change my gnome panel to a dark colour. This must make the gtk engine change more widget classes than are intended. I simply commented out the line that starts with:
widget_class "*Mail*" style e.g. in my case, it was a file named "panel_black-plastic.rc" that had a line which read: widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel-black" I just commented that line out, by putting a # in front of it, now that line looks like the following: #widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel-black" This solved both the attachments area issues and the Mail Preferences tab issues. Hope this helps anyone else with a similar theme problem. -- GNOME Color Chooser breaks colors on Evolution Mail Preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
