That is actually really nice...I just find it problematic that it does
not affect everything I supposed it should affect. My main wish is to
have it on the surfaces I spend most of my time looking at - input
fields. When I set this color as my default color for input fields in
gnome, I find that it correctly changes the appearance of Eclipse (and
that is good enough for me...but still), but forexample in Thunderbird
(which is what I am writing this from), the background remains white.
Why oh why?
Best,
Chris
