63084 - Gtk+ themes vs. Mozilla Chrome

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 50814

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Michael T. Babcock]

I'm not sure if this is the correct component, but:

I use a theme that specifies black backgrounds for text entry areas, with white
text.  I quite like this (its kind to my eyes), but when I tried a Mozilla
chrome that specified white backgrounds for the tree areas of the preferences
dialog, I suddenly had white text over a white background unless I selected an
option (the reversed text being legible).

This may have been a theme design problem, but white on white (or black on
black) should be a warning condition at the very least, since the average user
who tries a new theme and has this problem will be lost.

Well observed. The problem already arose, and Pavlov has that one as well.
