Konqueror ignores the "Normal text color" setting when redering
webpages.  This setting is found in the "Appearance" section of
konqueror configuration.

It also ignores the standard kde text color setting, always rendering
text in black.

This makes konqueror pretty much useless when using a white-on-black
colorscheme, and effects all pages that do not explicitly set background and
foreground colors.

  afaict, the correct place to make this changes is the 'Stylesheets'
  tab, *not* the 'Appearance' one.

  under 'Stylesheets', select "Use accessibility stylesheet defined in
  'Customize'-tab", and then put your preferences there, e.g. Colors ->
  "White on black". you may also use a manually written stylesheet
  provided by you.

  here it works. please write back reporting if it works for you or not,
  so that we can close the bug or take further actions.

  thanks,

This does not solve my problem.
It provides a very poor workaround, but then so does changing my color scheme
back to the the default :-)

Using the Stylesheets tab forces *all* pages to be formatted in one color
scheme, overriding any other stylesheets. This is not what I want.

I'll give a couple of examples:

http://gcc.gnu.org/
This website contains stylesheets, and currently does the right thing under
all circumstances.  It is (as I would expect) unaffected by the color chosen
in the 'Appearance' tab.

https://nowt.dyndns.org/simplepage.html
This is a simple page I put together. It contains no explicit formatting
information, relying on the browser defaults.
The page background is black, as specified by my kde color scheme (good).
However the text on the page is also black (bad). There doesn't seem to be
any way to change this wihout forcing all webpages to use the same style.
I would expect the text color on this page to be controlled by either the
'Appearance' tab, or my default window kde text color as used by every other
applications.

  oh, I misunderstood you, then. I thought you wanted your style applied
  to all pages.

  yes, now I understand and you're absolutely right. it seems is
  reported un upstream's bugzilla too. see http://bugs.kde.org/76686
  and, to some exent, #53885 too.

  I've noted there that the bug is reported in Debian too, there is
  little else I can do, sorry.

  thanks for the report,

Ooopsss.. yet another typo.
Guess i have to seriously consider migrating to 'dbconfig-common' to
avoid these in the future :-S
Anyways, the fix is already included.
It's certainly possible. I might have made a mistake when hand-patching
or somehow re-introduced the bug later.
Anyways, it won't happen again.
Thank you very much, Filip.

The corrected version will be uploaded as soon as possible (as soon as
my sponsor is back home)



Best,
