Gourmet looks horrible with a dark theme
Converted from SourceForge issue 3092363, submitted by SourceForge user nobody on 2010-10-21 19:57:50 UTC.
The recipe view looks horrible with a dark theme (Gourmet 0.15.5) as some areas always remain white. Search view seems OK though. I wasn't sure if this is a bug or a feature request (probably a hybrid of both?)

Didn't figure out how to upload a screenshot :( The "headings" are still black (like "preperation time", "notes", etc...). Gourmet version is 0.15.7-1 on Kubuntu 11.04

Situation has recently been improves, looks a lot better now but there is another issue now with dark text on dark background (when using a dark theme)

The easiest (though dirty?) solution would be just to make sure that the areas that are white text on black background in the screenshot are also forced to be black text on white background

This is because in order to get a decent look to the recipe card view, Gourmet has to do some custom stuff to get a clean, white look as opposed to all the grey from a default GTK theme. I'm sure it could be worked around with some custom code. Visually, would the solution be to make light text on a black background in those areas that are now white, or what would the solution be?
Hi! I just switched to Linux (Ubuntu 18.10) from Windows. The new GNOME Recipes App is not useable, like a castrated smartphone app. This on the other hand is stable, has all features including import/export, ONLY the dark theme messes everything up when i open a recipe to view it. If this app still maintained so a fix is still sometime possible? Or is there any workaround for a dark GTK theme (adwaita dark)? i don't know why they did not upgrade this powerful app and build a new less useful one.. Stunning.
Besides the white recipe box, the "import webpage" yellow box also works poorly with dark themes. For this, the text picks up the GTK theme and turns white, but the background remains pale yellow, making it illegible. :)
The solution for both of these theming issues might be to label those elements specially and include a tiny gtkrc file that would go in the user's home, such as $HOME/.gourmet/gtkrc-2.0. Pidgin and other programs do something similar for user-decided theming changes.
As long as it was commented up nicely, it would be easy for us dark theme users to change the colors as desired.
But for now, a way to make it simply white-text-on-black would be a big help.
