dark gnome theme screws firefox up


I just installed a dark theme (smoky glass theme) for ubuntu (gusty). I like it a lot, except for the fact that it screw up web browsing. Just look at the attached screen shot of google!!! UGLY!!! The window looks awesome, but the search box is black, and the buttons are black. i want them back to normal.

Is there a way to do this?

It really isn't hard to use, but it still clashes with the website.


GMAIL looks like crap, as does all other pages (including this page, because all the radio buttons are black, text boxex are black, and buttons are BLACK!!!!! )

i read something about some css file in the .mozilla/firefox directory, but i didnt' find anything in there...


Thanks!

It isn't Firefox. Firefox is just doing it's job. What your theme is telling it to do is change the color of any field it can. Google input fields for example are susceptible to this. If you want it to not affect them you need to change the theme.

i know. but i also know there is a way to force firefox to take predefine colors, and ignore the theme's colors.
