Summary0000942: Strack traces can be unreadable due to missing foreground colour
Description

Strack traces set background colours but not foreground colours. That often makes the text barely unreadable, depending on what colours are set in the site's CSS.

Steps To Reproduce

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd&quot;>
<html>
<head><title></title>
<style type="text/css"><!--
body{
color: #FF8204;
background-color: black;
}
--></style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Unreadable stack trace</h1>

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
$foo++;

?>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Is there any reason why you can't set specific CSS classes on "xdebug-error"? All xdebug output has that.

Sorry, I'm not sure whether you're stating that there's no need to fix the issue or just proposing a workaround.

Of course, CSS allows to write custom code to override the default styles provided by Xdebug—I didn't mention this workaround because I assumed I was obvious.

Other than that, if I'm supposed to style the stack traces myself I'd prefer to obtain bare HTML from Xdebug so I'm not forced to write CSS just to undo hard-coded styles. But I'd expect Xdebug to be a self-complete tool that allows standalone usage out of the box. It's great if further tweaking is allowed, but it shouldn't be mandatory. If built-in styles are provided, shouldn't they "just work"?
