364997 - disabled element text invisible

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061221 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061221 Firefox/2.0

Disabled element text in gtk applications appears 'carved' and is easily visible with my theme. However, firefox displays it very dark on dark background. Either the color is fixed to gray or some sort of shadow color is pulled form the theme which is not visible on the background.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: the gtk theme

Problem still present with Firefox 2.0.0.4.

Windowmanager: irrelevant (currently ion3)
Distribution: irrelevant (currently Debian and Gentoo)
gtk theme: thEmacs adapted for gtk2
The theme was never published anywhere. I tried to submit it to a theme site but they refused it because they did not read the submission.

This is related to bug 69710 (not sure if I should dupe to that, as that's Windows and this is Linux), but the problem is the same in both cases: disabled text needs a 3D look, and that can't happen until bug 10713 lands.

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
