240950 - Firefox doesn't take the right colour for menu, status bar and sidebar head/menu text (UI look)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 200592

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[u81239]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

The colour for the menu's is set to MenuText. However, the menu popups have a
different background than the menu head. With the default Windows themes, this
is ok, however I am using WindowsBlinds right now with the Blackcomb theme,
which has a darker background for the menu bar, status bar, and sidebar
head/menu with white text, and a lighter background for the menu popups, with
black text. The menu bar shows the black text from the 'menu popup' on a dark
background from the 'menu bar'. Pretty hard to read. Explorer gets it right, and
so should you guys... :). I would imagine this could also be an issue on other
OS-es which support theming.

The current small fix I'm using in userChrome.css (only for the menu items):

menubar > menu {
  color: white ! important;
}

However, this plainly sets the menu to white (and not the proper identifier), so
that when I change my theme, I have to change this aswell. Also, there is still
the sidebar head and menu, and the status bar which are not fixed by this. Right
now, the status bar shows a black 'Done' on a very dark blue background, barely
readable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get WindowBlinds (functional demo version available)
2. Set Blackcomb theme
3. Try to read status bar. Or menu. Or sidebar. Compare with Explorer.

Actual Results:  
Black text on dark background...

Expected Results:  
White text on dark background, as is set in the theme...

p.s. the menu selection bar also doesn't resemble the themed one... Nor do the
disabled menu items. And now that I mention it - the menu bar selection thing
doesn't either.

Explorer doesn't really "get it right", Windowblinds themes any windows using
native widgets.
