[Bug 1044788] Re: stock buttons are barely readable with Adwaita theme (as seen in the ubiquity)

I believe this is a ubiquity bug, not a gnome-themes-standard bug.
1. I looked in lp:~ubuntu-art-pkg/light-themes/trunk but there is no custom code there for ubiquity.
2. Ubiquity also looks terrible when run with the High Contrast theme (not just the High Contrast toggle in the live CD)
3. Adwaita looks fine with other GNOME apps like System Settings which should have a similar look and feel.

It's not just the buttons that are broken, but the text itself is barely
readable. I don't know where the black background comes from.

Anyway if it is an Adwaita issue, then a bug and patch would need to be
submitted to GNOME.

Title:
  stock buttons are barely readable with Adwaita theme (as seen in the
  ubiquity)

Status in “gnome-themes-standard” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  While preparing the Ubuntu GNOME remix image, I noticed that the
  installer is barely usable with Adwaita.

  1. Install gnome-themes-standard
  2. Open System Settings>Appearance and set the theme to Adwaita
  3. Install ubiquity-frontend-gtk and ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork
  4. Run ubiquity

  This also affects the High Contrast theme when running ubiquity from
  installed Ubuntu; notably selecting High Contrast from a live CD
  doesn't really change the theme colors as expected but makes the text
  larger (and it's not possible to get the text back to normal but
  that's a different bug).

  From installed Ubuntu
  1. Open System Settings>Appearance and set the theme to HighContrast
  2. Install ubiquity-frontend-gtk and ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork
  3. Run ubiquity
  4. With HighContrast, it's even worse as there is white on white text and it's not even possible to select the text to see what the text says.

  I guess Ubiquity is using custom widgets/theming. Screenshots
  attached.
