A couple of KDE UI issues (font/color)

A couple of KDE UI issues (font/color)

Hi,

I am installing a fresh copy of KDE 3.0.5, and I have come across some
annoying visual cues that I wanted to check and see if it was intended
this way, and if so, can I change it. :)

1) in Kmail, I have my message body (as well as most of my fonts) set to
Arial 7pt. Which works everywhere - except for the message body - where
Kmail decides to render it 1pt smaller (Arial 6pt) I can up it to Arial
8pt, and it looks like 8pt (plain ugly to me)  If it can render the rest
of KDE with 7pt Arial, why can't it handle Kmail's message body?

2) How do I turn off the contrasting colors in the message index in both
Kmail and Knode? The dark color in the scheme I use is too dark for the
text which is in black (I can live with light grey if I have to have a
"contrasting color")

Thanks in advance for any info you can pass along.

Best Wishes - Peter

Change it to the same in the color configuration mode of the control center.

1. KDE fonts and colors on non-KDE apps

I understand that KDE 1.1 has this feature where it applies its color
scheme and fonts to non-KDE applications as well. I have "Apply fonts
and colors to non-KDE apps", and see this effect on a number of
applications. I wonder if anyone could enlighten me as to how KDE
selects which app to "influence" in this manner. Some applications do
not seem to be affected, such as Netscape (4.08, 4.5), licq and
Applixware 4.4.1. I saw some Usenet complaints about this feature's
effect on Netscape, so I expected to see this happen on my system. Also,
why wouldn't licq (based on Qt) be affected?
