Bug Description

If the mouse is over a button in both GTK 2 and 3, the button does not lighten, signifying which button is being hovered over. Ambiance has this behavior.

I think buttons, when hovered over, should also have a slight orange glow around them as well, but not as pronounced as the glow used for keyboard focus. This would be similar to the glow seen when hovering over window titlebar buttons or the range sliders. Your thoughts?

Maybe the hovered buttons should lighten slightly as well, similar to how the range sliders get a bit lighter when hovered in addition to the glow.

As of r64, hovered buttons now lighten up a bit and their text glows in GTK+3.

The GTK+2 was changed to behave the same way in trunk r65. There are no orange outlines for buttons on hover with the mouse; a new bug should be opened if this might be worth revisiting. The specific issue in this bug is now resolved.
