Hello,

I found some colors of the ardour gui very "unsatisfying" when I first tried 
it.  The menu and some dialogwindows are nearly unreadable.  Then I scanned 
the mailinglists and found someone having the same problem -- but no 
answer.  So I started investigation.

The problem is with a standard gtkrc-file that is configured when KDE runs 
with the keramik style.  Then the geramik style for gtk is written into an 
environment and the settings for this are no good companions for the ardour 
one.  There are two (probably three) solutions for this problem:

1. disable the use of geramik globally (either by deinstalling it or) by 
creating the file ~/.no-qtrc-to-gtkrc-mapping

2. disable the use of geramik only for ardour by the following commandline
    GTK_RC_FILES= ardour

3. change the ardour_ui.rc so that it always uses the default style and 
doesn't inherit any settings from foreign style files.

I hope this will be usefull for anyone.
