(SOLVED) Evolution mail preview background

Hi,
I recently installed Zorin OS 9 Core (with all upgrade) on my notebook and I installed Evolution as mail client in order to connect my exchange mail account.

Now I have this problem. If I select the "Zorin Light" theme the mail preview background it's dark (with dark letters) and if I select the "Zorin Dark" theme, the mail preview it's correct but the mailbox mail list it's blank and I can't read the sender, subject etc...

I have to use Evolution as client mail in order to conenct to Exchange mail server. Someone could help me to solve this problem ?

Hi, sadly this is not a Zorin problem 'per se' but a Gnome 3 issue that has been raised on the web quite a few times - I would advise going to somewhere like gnome-look.org for a new theme and see how that fairs. :D

Or go to gnome-look.org and click on the GTK 3.x link in the left panel on the page - this theme may interest you:

How can I install new themes in Zorin OS ?

It's the first time that I have to do this.

Hi xander1979 and welcome :)

First do you have Tweak tool ? you can get it in your Software Centre .. just type Tweak Tool

Then go to http://www.noobslab.com/p/themes-icons.html and you want [Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr Themes]

Click on the theme name and you will see in a new window what the theme looks like and the codes to copy/paste in to your Terminal, Terminal will ask for your password at the end of the first code, to open Terminal Ctrl + Alt + T ,after install type exit in Terminal to close it, then open Tweak Tool and on the Appearance and GTK+ tab open the drop down and click on your new theme, to use the Theme log out or reboot.
