Created attachment 4561 Partially unreadable forecast In the forecast window of the xfce4-weather-plugin, the color of the background for the forecasted data for today, the day after tomorrow etc., is changed to light gray without changing the color for the foreground writing. This makes that data unreadable in dark themes which use light grays for the foreground writing. Please see the attached screenshot for an illustration. This seems to be a different problem then the one reported in bug #7488 as there is no problem with the label in the panel in my case, as seen in the screenshot. Many thanks for maintaining this useful plugin.
The values for the background are hardcoded. I will try to address this in the next update.
A workaround would be to hardcode the color of the text too. But I'm wondering if it's possible to use the colors from the GTK+ theme to create that alternance, eg. take a look at how such an alternance looks in Evolution with my theme. I'll upload a screenshot shortly.

I decided for the easy fix, setting the text color to black on alternate cells. That seems to go well with most of the themes I tried and I didn't have to rewrite too much of the code. Perhaps I try it the evolution way at a later time, but it's not just the rows, one has to care about the table headers too. http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/commit/?id=edf26ee19cb84979d4728dadaa2d735073eb3efe
Thank you, this seems enough. I'll double-check it with my theme when you'll increment the current version. If you plan on removing hard-coded colors, I am rooting for you.
I've just installed 0.8.1 and the forecast windows looks great now with my theme. Thank you!
