[Bug 117132] Re: Firefox ignores gnome theme's specific menu bar text color

[pablomme]

Well, there's even more. Package gnome-themes-ubuntu, which provides the
"New Wave" theme (and two more) includes a file "/usr/share/themes/New
Wave/userChrome.css", which says:

"This file fixes the New Wave Firefox/Thinderbird [sic] issue with
unreadable text in the menubar"

So this issue is certainly known by theme developers. Copying/linking
the said file into ~/.mozilla/firefox*/*.default/chrome/ fixes the
problem. It'd be better if this file was soft-linked/unlinked on theme
change, though.

And ideally, there shouldn't be a need for a workaround at all, either
on the Firefox side (other programs manage just fine) or on the theme
side ("Dark room" manages just fine).

As a side note, I have my Firefox bookmarks on the right of the menus,
to save vertical space. The provided CSS does not prevent the bookmarks
from being rendered in black text over dark background. "Dark room",
again, works fine in this regard (text is white)... which is a pity,
because I like "New Wave" better.
