Dirk fixed it some time ago, at least for the largest part of the pages. Must
have been this commit IIRC:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cvs&m=101518634419678&w=2.
However every now and then I find a page where it still doesn't work i.e. which
still shows text in the system std. text color. The only exapmle I know right
now is http://www.adobe.com.

This case for instance has been fixed. It uses hardcoded black now. An example
is the output of the info ioslave.

I agree for text, backgrounds and links(allready possible) at least. However
Dirks fix hard coding the text color to black will do it for now. And for form
fields I'm kind of unsure. On the one hand I like them having the same color as
all other widgets. OTOH my online bank assumes edit fields having a white
background and sets the text color only to blue. Which is kinda hard to read on
a default darkblue background.

You can set it in the kcontrol color config dialog. I only found it after
looking at the source code. I admit it's somewhat unintuitive for the average
user;)
