erm, that's not in fact how it works, at least not in version 2.4.0 or 2.4.1...

Calm down, they didn't do it on purpose. It was a bug which is apparently already fixed.

So let's take a quick look at the Pidgin background color and foreground color icons:

Two icons: a blue "A" on a white background and then a white "A" on a blue background

Take a wild guess as to which is which.


The background icon, a blue "A" on a white background. - sets the background color
The foreground icon, a white "A" on a blue background. - sets the foreground color

Of course, because the white color - the same color as the background of the toolbar in almost all GTK+ themes - is what they're highlighting.

Right.

Update: This has been fixed in the latest version. And I guess they've fixed their bug tracking system so it works, on occasion. :)
