That link doesn't work.

KMail should be OK if you select "HighContrast" in kcontrol > Appearance & 
Themes > Style

All these colour/font/icon settings can be selected together via 
"HighContrast" in kcontrol > Appearance & Themes > Theme Manager (but safe 
your own theme before selecting anything, otherwise it is not easy to restore 
your own preferred settings).

Well, the numbers that are outside of the ruler are black on black, as well as 
the icon for selecting the tab sort. Also, some people cannot read black text 
on a white background. Large bright areas hurt their eyes. The KDE colours 
really ought to be picked up here.

> The scroll bar is invisible, yes. But in KMail it's the same problem.

Not with the HighContrast style.

OK, I will do so.

Yes, please do so.
