I also read about your firefox issue. I found a fix in the SlickneSS theme
involving "userchrome.css"; It should be in the Kin Dust theme, just replace
the text colour in the file (bottom of file) with whatever colour you want.

For the menubar, if you use a pixmap, you can just use an image with any
gradient you want. I reccoment SVG for excellent scaling.

I can get more detailed on these, but I really just reccomend downloading a
could other themes with the sttributes you need, and then borrowing code.
Kin Didymous has very similar features (It was inspired by Dust) so it has
almost everythig you're already looking for. Mind you, it's kind of sloppily
coded right now...

(GTK / Userchrome.css, I think)
