The link colour in the awesomebar pulldown menu is not read from the gtk theme. It is currently hard-coded.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a mixed dark/light theme (Ambiance, Dust, etc)
2. click on the arrow to pulldown the menu
Actual Results:  
It looks like the screenshot

Expected Results:  
It should read the link color from the gtkrc

Attachment: screenshot

screenshot showing how suboptimal using the same color as for html links in the awesome dropdown could be.

What we need is a different name so we can change the link color in our gtk themes without changing it in the web view
