I agree. The active vs. inactive text coloring is confusing. Firefox looks fine because for the most part it ignores gtk themes. The best place to submit this, is as a bug report on the Ubuntu Studio Launchpad. It might be files as Feature Request, but at least it's on a TODO list....

There's some strangeness with inactive windows and the text in them. As an example, in the Update Manager, when the installation dialog pops up, the original window goes inactive.  The text in the inactive window actually gets brighter instead of dimmer like you would think. It looks like the text has a medium grey color with a white drop shadow. As another example, open up Gedit and look through the menus for inactive menu items.  They look strange as well - brighter looking than the active menu items because of the white drop shadow.  All standard GNOME apps exhibit this behavior. As a counter example, though, firefox's menus look just fine.   It's the only app I've seen so far that does. Very nice theme though.  I'd take a stab at fixing it, but I'm not a gtkrc or theme hacker by any stretch of the imagination. -- Eric Ladner -- Eric Ladner -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
