[SOLVED] pgAdmin3 shows wrong background color in treeview

Hi everyone,

I'm having a very annoying issue with pgAdmin3. It is showing the wrong color in the treeview for all non-selected elements, making most of the elements unreadable. This is what it looks like:

I see that pgAdmin3 has gtk2 as a dependency, so I tried to change the themes with lxappearance. Also, I've played with obconf and the openbox theme to find out what would influence the color. I could change almost all of the other colors but the treeview background remained black.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi
I don't use pgadmin but I can try to give ideas to help you solve this issue.

I tried to change the themes with lxappearance

What themes did you try?

I've played with obconf and the openbox theme

This affects only openbox appearance and has no effect on the look of applis running in openbox.

I could change almost all of the other colors

How exactly did you do this?

Give the output of:

$ locate gtkrc | grep $HOME

and the content of the files which are listed.

To see if the problem is only with pgadmin, try another gtk2 appli with tree view enabled, like pcmanfm, to see if you get the same look.

I feel stupid for not trying this.

Just deleting the postgres server and adding it again solved my problem! A hint would be that the first 2 nodes in the tree are displayed normally.
