[Bug 1343651] [NEW] Installer doesn't conform to a dark theme

[Sigmund Vestergaard]

Public bug reported:

When running the installer from a live session of Ubuntu GNOME I
experience the issue shown in the attached screenshot when using a dark
theme.

On the panels that show users whether they

1) have enough disk space available,
2) are plugged into a power source (when on a laptop),
3) are connected to the internet,

the background colour seems to be hard coded to white. This doesn't work
when the theme is dark, because the text on the panels turns light also
in line with the dark theme, rendering it undreadable.

The possible solutions could be

1) hard code the text colour to remain black instead of following the theme, or
2) code the background colour to follow the theme.
