[Bug 640096] Re: cpufreq using grey almost invisible font

[Balaji]

This is quite irritating. Please. Someone for Ubuntu's sake fix it. It
is ridiculous that we can't fix a simple font color issue in WEEKS!!!
Don't tell me you need a new kernel for it to work fine! It is the same
story with Ubuntu. Every new release you have 1000 new bugs and the old
ones are still not resolved! I wonder why we even take Ubuntu seriously!
Frankly, there is NO point in making alpha and beta releases of a new OS
if it does not work later on. Fix all these little issues at the very
least!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets

At some point during the maverick development cycle the cpufreq applet started showing the frequency in a grey, almost invisible font.  You pretty much can not read the current frequency since even at the bottom it is barely light grey, on the dark grey background of the panel, and it fades out from bottom to top.
