Description Matt Woelfel 2014-07-11 20:28:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
The meld dark theme has very little contrast between the diffed text and diffed text background, making very, very difficult to read the lettering.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
meld-3.11.0-1.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In GNOME Tweak Tool set "Global Dark Theme" to "ON".
2. Diff two files with Meld.

Actual results:
Can hardly read the text.

Expected results:
High contrast colors between the text and the background.

Additional info:
See screenshot.

We currently stick at version 1.8.5 for Fedora 20, the 3.11 releases are marked as "Devel" at the Website meldmerge.org; for sure for some reason. We build the 3.11 releases for Rawhide only (what will be Fedora 22) at present. How did you actually get to such a release like this?

meld-3.11.0-1.fc20.noarch

This most likely is not build from official Fedora site.
Comment 3 Matt Woelfel 2014-07-12 23:08:18 UTC 
My mistake.  I'm using the GNOME 3.12 COPR repo:
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/rhughes/f20-gnome-3-12/

Using meld from the official repo simply doesn't honor the dark theme, which seems reasonable to me with the dark color scheme not working so well at the moment.

Thanks for looking into this.
