Yeah, me neither. 

kapp->palette() returns the default palette, i.e. not the one that is 
inverted ? Otherwise I don't see how your patch would make a difference.

BTW, why did you change the loading of the color definitions for window 
decoration colors etc ? I don't think there was any page depending on 
"wrong" colors in this case, were they ?

BTW, do you have a default color palette that matches all requirements for 
webpages ?

The funny part is that we behave just like IE when it comes to color 
defaults, so apparently nobody is disturbed that IE is broken with inverted 
color shemes. Or do they still do something different from us ?

I actually very much like the idea that khtml reacts to user color styles 
automatically :/

the changing of the color definitions in misc/helper.cpp
