    Description

      The output windows at the bottom of Qt Creator 2.0 do not have a hardcoded background color. This causes them to use a color they get from the desktop theme. Creator contains hardcoded color values for certain text such as compile warnings, errors, and messages like "The process "/usr/bin/make" exited normally." Text using these hardcoded colors is not guaranteed to be readable on every possible color that creator may get for the background color.

      I think that either creator should allow the user to select the colors used in these output windows, or it should use hardcoded colors for the general text and the background.

      To correct for the "application output" window, i have added at outputwindow.cpp / line 403

      QPalette p = palette();
      p.setColor( QPalette::Base, QColor( "white" ) );
      p.setColor( QPalette::Text, QColor( "black" ) );
      setPalette( p );
