The background didn't look pure black to me, which raised a couple of possibilities:
* it's not uncommon for such backgrounds to be slightly translucent, whilst text is usually a solid, in which case even with the same RGB colour there could be a difference in the pixels rendered.
* if the values were independently chosen with a mouse, many GUI colour pickers don't have the precision/sensitivity to allow clicking the exact same position to get the same colour twice.

The selection confirmed there's no translucency, and there was more similarity to the colours then I'd expect for the second option, so there's probably another reason for the difference that I didn't think of.

You are right, There is no Dr.Watson here.. because i can barely understand what you meant ...lol.. too complicated.. lol
Thx for explaining anyway.

I there way to reset Endeavouros linux KDE plasma theme thingy ? I have fed up trying.
Will by "reset theme" brings more harm and work to my system ?
Everytime they push new stuff up, surely something will spoil.. i wish i don't do their update until a few months later...till everything stable.

Thx

for dark themes there is a css file in
/home/( your user name )/.mozilla/firefox/(your Default install).default-(string of numbers)/chrome/

called " userContent.css"

this is a copy of mine

Code:

 
/*
* Use this css file to eliminate problems in Firefox
* when using dark themes that create dark on dark
* input boxes, selection menus and buttons. Put this
* in the ../firefox/default/chrome folder or your
* individual user firefox profile chrome folder.
*/
input {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
textarea {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
select {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
input[type="radio"],
input[type="checkbox"] {
border: 2px inset white ! important;
background-color: white ! important;
color: ThreeDFace ! important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
*|*::-moz-radio {
background-color: white;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
button,
input[type="reset"],
input[type="button"],
input[type="submit"] {
border: 2px outset white;
background-color: #eeeeee;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
body {
background-color: #dddddd;
color: black;
display: block;
margin: 8px;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}

this should fix it

this should fix it

Code:

~/.mozilla/firefox
$ find . -maxdepth 10 -iname *content.css

Is this "find" command rightly executed ? I find nothing.
