For dark windows themes (dim backgrounds, white\gray fonts) URLs in address bar appear as black fonts written over black background. It makes them hardly readable.

K-Meleon also seems to brighten up address bar background for https sites, so if font coloring is to be fixed, then sites with https would give an issue.

There are some dark KM-skins (you can find them here) that should be used with dark Windows themes.

Not bug - just a feature.

No luck - those are not working.
And i didn't have found anything about colors in skins\default\skin.cfg, skins\inthedark\menuicons.cfg and skins\inthedark\menuicons.cfg.

and skins\inthedark\menuicons.cfg.

skins\inthedark\toolbars.cfg, that is.

Since 1.6, or so, the text color of the urlbar text was hardcoded. Earlier it took the system color.

When I switched from 1.1 to 1.6 I didn't complain (as 1.6 was out of development because I switched sooooo late), but it is true that it was a problem to me too and I don't have a very dark theme/appearance.

Unless you request in the current 76 development thread, I don't bet Dorian will change it. I don't know why it was set earlier, anyway.

But the point I'm writing this is because what you said about HTTPS aren't a problem, as the background for HTTPS and broken HTTPS can be manually set with the preferences "browser.urlbar.highlight.secure" and "browser.urlbar.highlight.broken".

Among other technical details, you can download a macro from JamesD to change those colors easily:

But it is shame that normal url bar background color can't be changed

It seems to me that this shouldn't be a big problem for Dorian: a year ago he added urlbar font sizing not spending much time after the request appeared.

P.S.
Bug 1428 was submitted! on BugTracker

I do not know if the URL bar is included in the colors this this works with or not. Just for info only.
