[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

I understand that each toolkit has its look & feel, and that colour
perception is subjective, but the default contrast on pgtk strikes me as
a bit too low for text editing.

Is there a way for Emacs to control the default (and would we want to do
that), or is this something that users must adjust on their side using
GTK or Emacs themes or the like?

Thanks,
