I think this is wxGTK's issue, since AFAIK aMule does not control the colors, fonts and other looking-related settings, that is handled by wxGTK. You can try playing with GTK settings and see if you can get the color change you want.

Regards.

Hi all!

I have the same problem in Ubuntu and I have found a (very bad  :)) workaround. The idea is to change theme before starting amule and restore it after. In this way, when the old theme is restored, the text remains readable.

The commands to automate this process are
Code: [Select]
theme=`gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme`
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme --type string Human
amule &
sleep 5 && gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme --type string "$theme" &

If you want to start amule every time in this way you can create a desktop icon or a script with those commands.

Bye
