[u-a-dev] [Bug 78661] Re: Black themes/High Contrast Inverse theme Bugs

[Mark Christian D. Lopez]

I've added another bug concerning firefox and the black themes. This is
kind of ironic, since the high contrast inverse theme is supposed to
make things more visible, and now it makes things invisible.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gtk2-engines-highcontrast
  
  I have found out that using black themes in general in ubuntu currently
- has many bugs. Let me post some here for example:
+ has many bugs. Let me post some here for example, I'll add to the list
+ as I see some more:
  
  * In Synaptic, the percentages in the progress bars are invisible after
  black background covers the percentage black text.
  
  - I suggest that we make the progress bar text active instead when using
  high contrast mode, w/c changes color to the inverse of the color of
  it's background.
  
  * Deluge and Tomboy won't change their text color from black after
  changing to a High Contrast theme if you don't log out.
  
  * Nautilus text still uses black unless you change it in the gtkrc-2.0
  file.
  
+ * In Firefox, the search box in website like art.gnome.org has black
+ text on black background and the post title box in LiveJournal has white
+ text on white background, even when the Use System Colors box in Firefox
+ Preferences->Content->Colors is unchecked.
+ 
  We should fix them. I love black themes and I know there are many other
  people who do so too, by fixing these we enable good black themes to
  sprout out of ubuntu and in the whole linux world in general since these
  bugs stop people from using black themes considering they are buggy.
