Description of problem: Yumex ignores certain theme settings, which makes it impossible see text. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.9.4 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select a dark theme, or if one is not available select High Contrast Inverse. 2.Attempt to use yumex. 3.Be frustrated. :p Actual results: Yumex ignores theme values and defaults to using certain colors in order to allow users to distinguish packages between updates, available and installed, which is a nice thought, but fails in practice if a user is using a dark theme since text blends into the background and becomes unreadable. Expected results: That yum either respect current theme values or completely disregard them, adding a fallback list of colors for dark or High Contrast themes would be a nice touch but changing the text colors to something that works well with both might be easier. Additional info: Getting the left side panel to blend in also would be awesome, I was able to change it through gtkrc but not without breaking a bunch of other stuff. Maybe where it gets it's background info from could be changed?

I can see the problem, i dont think i can read the theme value, without making yumex depend to much on gnome, it will not nice for the people running xfce & kde, if yumex need gnome to work. But i will make the colors configurable.
Thank you.
I have added some options to /etc/yumex.conf to control the colors of the packages in the package view http://www.yum-extender.org/wiki/Yumex/Doc/YumexConf#head-2d3960ed47e05021a376209354fc65771cb83e9f It will be available in yumex-1.9.10.
