Filezila and Ubuntu dark themes
So I noticed that, according to this page, the issues with font color in dark themes in Ubuntu is fixed as of rev 3.1.6:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/284755
I DL'd the 3.1.6 tar.bz2 file and extracted it. I didn't see anything with the word "install" in there, but in the bin folder there was a Filezilla executable that I could run and it seemed to work great and the font problem appeared to be fixed. However, my applications menu shortcut still brought up an earlier version of Filezilla. So being an inexperienced noob, I went to GetDeb and downloaded and easy-to-install deb file of 3.1.6, and ran it. Now 3.1.6 runs from the applications menu, but the font color is still messed up! Anybody know what is going on here?

Re: Filezila and Ubuntu dark themes
The problem wasn't with FileZilla, it was with wxWidgets. You have to get wxGTK from their people to get the correct patch. To do that, you need to build wxGTK and FileZilla from source.
Instructions for building 3.15 on Hardy are here. It works the exact same with 3.16 and Intrepid. Get the latest wxGTK source from here.

Thanks! Will give it a try.
Re: Filezila and Ubuntu dark themes
One more question: The link to the wxGTK source - which file do I download?
Re: Filezila and Ubuntu dark themes
You'd need the 2.8 branch head.

Re: Filezila and Ubuntu dark themes
I used 2.8.9.
Re: Filezila and Ubuntu dark themes
2.8.9 is too old.

Re: Filezila and Ubuntu dark themes
That may be now, but it worked just fine with 3.1.5.
