Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Katherine]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

Certain text elements, such as a few found in the download manager remain black after modifying the text color via Windows Standard/Classic themes. This is problematic for themes featuring a black background.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set theme to Windows Classic
2. Set font color to anything but black
3. Set background color to black
Actual Results:  
Certain text elements in Firefox became unreadable due to a text color conflict.

Expected Results:  
The text color should have adapted to the changes in the Windows theme.

I have only tested this with the default theme that ships with Firefox 3.0, I do not know how this affects other themes.
