Hi,
I have a strange issue in Pidgin my text sent is the same colour as background ie black on black ... tried different settings in Pidgin but starting to think its a theme problem
Also my contacts are sending messages and they too are in the same colour text and background
Now I am not sure if its a gtk issue or Pidgin?
Gtk theme is Divinorum a dark theme

That's what I had to use when I had the same problem you are having.

Does your .Xdefaults influence pidgin?

Divinorum's {gnome,xfce}-look.org page has instructions for dealing with this. The GTK+ Theme Control plugin does exactly what this fix does.
Create a new file called .gtkrc-2.0 in your ~/.purple directory.
Mine looks like this:
style "purplerc_style"
{
GtkIMHtml::hyperlink-color = "#33CCFF"
}
widget_class "*" style "purplerc_style"
style "Custom"
{
base[NORMAL] = "#292B29"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "Custom"
The key bit there is the base-changing one. It will set a non-black background for your conversations. Also, you must go into pidgin settings and disallow other peoples' conversation colours to affect font colour.
