Comment 6 for bug 899878

I can't believe that this bug started in Oneiric(maybe even before that) and it's still not fixed after Raring (as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/913933 ). Ubuntu Software Center is a core feature of Ubuntu distribution and yet such a bug which affects its usability is left unnoticed! Why can't it just follow the system theme instead of using hardcoded colors.
Some Dark Theme developers have found workarounds involving replacing the softwarecenter.css with custom versions. One such fix by Delorean Dark theme developer is attached here. It is optimised for Dark Themes and works fine with light ones too. I don't know if it works perfectly with light themes,but it does try to use current theme colors instead of hardcoded ones,atleast in some places.
