Details

I am using a theme with a black background. While I am able to control the color of the font from the .cfg file (using the "foreground color" property), however, it seems that the "system" messages (like "committing tagcache") or other warning messages are still displayed in black, hence are invisible. The back color seems to be hardcoded somewhere, and should (I believe) use the "foreground color" setting (or even better, a third setting for better visibility) instead.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Found this bothersome myself and fixed it without any knowledge of this task. Splashes will always have lightgray for the background with black text even with backdrops.

I have looked into the code and found the cause of this issue :

R:\\rockbox-devel\\apps\\gui\\splash.c
-----------------------------------------
#if LCD_DEPTH > 1
if(screen->depth>1) {
prevbg = screen->get_background();
prevfg = screen->get_foreground();
screen->set_background(LCD_LIGHTGRAY);
screen->set_foreground(LCD_BLACK);
}
#endif
screen->set_drawmode(DRMODE_SOLID|DRMODE_INVERSEVID);
screen->fillrect(xx, y-2, maxw+4, screen->height-y*2+4);
screen->set_drawmode(DRMODE_SOLID);
screen->drawrect(xx, y-2, maxw+4, screen->height-y*2+4);
-----------------------------------------

I was able to fix the issue by replaing the code by the thing below. However I am very uncomfortable with the rockbox graphics API, so I'd like some review before I submit this patch... It does wotk for me, but would break other builds!
-----------------------------------------
#if LCD_DEPTH > 1
if(screen->depth>1) {
prevbg = screen->get_background();
prevfg = screen->get_foreground();
screen->set_drawmode(DRMODE_FG);
screen->set_background(LCD_LIGHTGRAY);
screen->fillrect(xx, y-2, maxw+4, screen->height-y*2+4);
screen->set_foreground(LCD_BLACK);
screen->drawrect(xx, y-2, maxw+4, screen->height-y*2+4);

}
else {
screen->set_drawmode(DRMODE_INVERSEVID);
screen->fillrect(xx, y-2, maxw+4, screen->height-y*2+4);
screen->set_drawmode(DRMODE_SOLID);
screen->drawrect(xx, y-2, maxw+4, screen->height-y*2+4);
}
#endif
