braindead colour scheme

I'm using kde 3.whatever on solaris 10. I selected the dark blue colour scheme. The normal text colour is white with a dark blue background. But in a few instances (kwrite, hotmail login in fields) the text is black for some reason. I haven't been able to find the place to change the background colour. help

KWrite: Go to Settings -> Configure Editor and check the section Fonts & Colors.
Hotmail is probably harder, because the colors are defined in the website itself. You can force your own stylesheet, however, if you set one in the Konqueror Settings (section Stylesheets).

RE: braindead colour scheme

thanks i can read it now .as for hotmail i can accept that they feel the need to do their own thing but are there any other kde apps that define their own colours rather than using the theme?

Usually if some KDE application does not use the default theme, it's configurable somewhere to change it's appearance.
