Thanks for your reply! It's been a long, long time since I've had to muck around with a .X* file...

Unfortunately none of those gives me white panels, although I do see other visual aspects change under different themes (also, `xrdb -query` shows that the *Text.Background setting has applied).

However, saying
	*background: white
does the trick!

To narrow the scope of that, I'm going with
	git-gui*Text.Background: white

I have:
	classic default clam alt
"ttk::style theme use" says I'm using the "default" theme.

Is there some way I can edit/view the theme definitions?

Thanks for the help!
