Currently the main.css overrides the default operating system color for <textarea> but not for <form> and <input> causing the main skin to look ugly where the OS default background color is not white and the default text color is not black. I'm not sure if it's a good idea from a user interface standpoint to override something like this at all, but if it's going to be done it has to be done everywhere and not just in some places.
Created attachment 378 [details] And example of the irregularities between <form>, <input> and <textarea>
Created attachment 390 [details] HEAD mediawiki with white text / dark blue theme under debian-testing, firefox 1.x, xfce 4.2
I have a dark theme (white on dark blue) as well. Text is visible in all boxes and the fact it uses my themes is not a trouble for me :p Screenshot attached show the text is visible everywhere.
I removed the override from textarea {} in MonoBook main.css
