E-Mails background should follow ambience
While the email folders are using the normal Silica Ambiance theming, once you open a message, it has an uniform white background. This looks both out of place & can be quite uncomfortable when reading emails with low level af ambient lightning. As there are other apps showing lots of text on a Ambiance themed background (Notes for example), this really feels like a bug.
Steps to reproduce
- open mail app
- click on an email
Actual outcome
email opens with a white background
Expected outcome
email has the same background as the folder using the Ambiance theming
Hmm ... when this wil be changed, I vote for in-app config "don't follow Ambience, make own interior".
I need read emails, not look on transition effects .. For mi this is not bug. This is usable look.
Ambience is awesome .. but not ergonomic.

Setok ( 2014-02-18 10:38:05 +0300 )editHow can I force the background color in email app message reading view to something else than white? It seems to be quite impossble to choose a highlight color that is readible both on dark and white background. The yellow highlight color that comes with TOHKBD ambience essentially makes all links, phone numbers and other highlighted email content almost invisible.
