[Bug 335496] Re: Menus in Firefox and Thunderbird are dark in the New Wave theme

[Daniel James]

@Julius (and everyone who thinks this problem is in New Wave):

Isn't it obvious that the problem is that firefox (and OOo) treat the
menubar items as menu items?

The problem is when the menubar has a light background and the menu has
a dark background or vice versa. In this case, firefox and OOo put the
'menu style' text over whatever background is selected. These apps
completely ignore 'menubar style' text colours...

Now, Dust - doesn't have different menubar/menu colours... New Wave Dark
Menus also doesn't have a strong contrast between menubar and menu
background. The only way to 'fix' New Wave is to make it New Wave Dark
Menus. This bug should definitely be marked as 'Confirmed' for firefox.
It is a very long standing bug that was first made obvious by the many
'vista' styled themes a couple of years ago.

At least we can fix firefox with userchrome I suppose, OOo pisses me off
more.

Just to summarise: There is NO possible work around except to change the
background colour of the menubar or the menu so that they both work with
the same foreground colour. (As the talented author did for New Wave
Dark Menus).
