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

[Sigmund Vestergaard]

Default theme is Ubuntu GNOME works fine. A dark theme is one that makes
window borders and menus dark. In Ubuntu GNOME you can make the default
Adwaita theme dark in the Tweak Tool under Appearance, where you switch
Global Dark Theme to ON (this is the first option under the Appearance
tab, and by default it is switched OFF).

Title:
  Installer doesn't conform to a dark theme

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
