The gray text on gray background is hard for me to read. Worse is when the selected line is gray on dark blue background. Impossible to read. I can't find where to change this colors?
Hello Gary, when you go to Configurations > Settings... you open the settings window. There in the left pane is a header named Display (or something similar; my Claws Mail isn't set to English right now) which contains an item Colors. If you select it you have two tabs in the right pane. Click on the second one. There you can change colors of folders and other things. I hope that is what you need :) Greetings, Christoph
(In reply to Gary E. Miller from comment #0) It's your gtk theme. Try another gtk theme.
I already tried all the themes. Configuration|Preferences|Display|Themses. None of them change the Summary or Folders panes. I still have that gray text in dark blue select background.
You can't have tried all the themes, or else everyone else would be seeeing what you are seeing. I am using Greybird-Pro and it all looks fine here, (and has done with other themes also).
(In reply to Gary E. Miller from comment #3) > I already tried all the themes. Configuration|Preferences|Display|Themses. Oh, I missed the above. That is Claws Mail's icon themes. It's your gtk theme that you need to change.

e.g. http://olegp.name/howto/change-gtk3-theme/ This url came up first in a search, there will be other, perhaps more useful places Please don't re-open this bug report. It is not a claws-mail bug.
(In reply to Paul from comment #7) > This url came up first in a search, there will be other, perhaps more useful places I have no program gtk-theme-config, so that link was no use. I'll keep looking. > Please don't re-open this bug report. It is not a claws-mail bug. Fine, I'll just keep posting here until it is fixed. This was not a proble until I updated to 4.1.0. sionce nothing else changed, it is a claws-mail bug. You have to admit that even you thought this was controllable in the claws-mail settings. The doc should at least have a helpful pointer to a solution.
(In reply to Christoph Klassen from comment #1) So I figured out to change Gtk themes in xfce. Settings Manager|Appearance. I only have 3 themse, so easy to try them all. The other two make claws-mail look even worse. And of course, that also affects all my other apps. So even if I found a theme that fixes claws-mail for me, it would break everything else. claws-mail must be mapping themes wrong. The background color that is selected for all my other apps, if not remotely close to the background that claws-mail is using. So still looks like a claws-mail bug to me. The theme mapping is cockeyed.
