146540 - Toolbar text does not change color when MENU color is set to something other than black

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112580

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)
Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006

I have my Windows settings (right-click on desktop, Properties, Appearance tab)
using a menu color of WHITE instead of BLACK. This should cause Mozilla's
buttons to be rendered with white text instead of the default black (see Outlook
for an example.) However, this is not happening. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change Windows menu font color to something other than black
2. Observe behavior of other programs' toolbar buttons (IE, Outlook)
3. Mozilla's text color for the buttons should change, but it doesn't.

Actual Results:  Toolbar button text color remained black

Expected Results:  Button text should change to current MENU font color

Also occurring with Home/Bookmarks/Quick Links toolbars. All text in toolbars
should change to the default MENU font color set in Windows preferences.

I think this may be INVALID.  It depends on the theme (skin) you use.  Modern
has its own background and colors, so it doesn't follow the Windows settings. 
If you use Classic, Mozilla's menu text color should change to match Windows'
setting.  At least it does on Win98.

Reporter: Is this a bug you see with the classic theme?

due to gif compression)

As you can see, IE6's "Links" and "Favorites" text is showing up properly in 
white, but Moz classic's are showing up in black, which is incorrect behavior.

In the screenshot I notice that in IE6 "File", "Edit" etc are black, while they
are white in mozilla. Is that a separate setting you can do on Windows?

IE6's menus are gray because the window is not in focus. Notice that the 
titlebar has also "dimmed".

Toolbar button text is hard-coded as black.
