Thanks Milan. I dug up the source for the Adwaita theme but its beyond my
skills to identify which elements do not have their background-color
property defined in the Evolve theme's stylesheets. It may be extremely
tedious work for the Evolve developer to identify them as well. Anyway, I
copied your advice to him. In the meanwhile I simple added this line at the
top my /usr/share/themes/Evolve/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css:
* { background-color: @theme_bg_color; }
This defines a default fallback color for *any* undefined element. Perhaps
its too risk with such wide scope, but it fixed the ugly, black background
issue in Evolution, Gnome Tweaks and gedit. It should work for any other
theme with said issue.
