237384 - add css system color for highlighted menu text

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 244955

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Brian Ryner (not reading)]

For the gtk native theme code, we're currently using HighlightText as the text
color for highlighted menu items.  This isn't quite right; some gtk themes have
a different menu highlight color from the text selection color.  We should add a
css system color specifically for this, I think.

I guess this actually belongs under style system.

I've made a couple of screenshots. Is this the thing this bug refers to?

I don't know if this is useful information, but I experienced the same problem
as illustrated in the first two attachments using Mozilla 1.8a4 on Solaris, and
the classic theme, with the Gnome desktop.

This is either a duplicate of bug 251492 (for Mozilla) or bug 244955 (for
Firefox), right?  Brian Utterback, can you verify that this bug is fixed for you
with a recent Mozilla Seamonkey build?

I think this was fixed in bug 244955.  At any rate, it works for me with Firefox 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04: themes with different fg colors for selected text and highlighted menu items are rendered correctly.
