Hello,

a new problem occured whil generating PDFs with our custom XSL stylesheet.
For our user manual we have designed an example box, designed for specific code examples etc., It is basically a text box with a dark green border and a light-green background:

<xsl:template match="d:example_box">

<fo:block start-indent="3.25cm" border-width="2px"
border-color="green" border-style="solid" background-color="#98FB98"
>

<xsl:apply-templates/>

</fo:block>

</xsl:template>


The problem is that its appearance varies, depending if inserted in a chapter or section ( in this case it was sect1).
The example box seems waymore darker if applied in a chapter compared to an example box in section 1, even though there is only one definition.

Any clues what the problem might be and how we can solve it?

Greetings,

Daniel

I use a different tool chain but came across a similar issue where the same color defined in multiple places looked different in the final PDF. It turned out to be specific to the PDF reader. If I recall correctly, Adobe Reader was the offender, and when I opened the file directly in Google Chrome (which can display PDFs natively), the color appeared the same in both places. So it seemed like it was defined correctly in the PDF, but somehow the rendering on the screen was inaccurate.
