Bug Description
Comparing Xubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, same theme settings... certain controls are hardly visible on Xubuntu 18.04.
Please see the attached comparisons.
I configured the 18.04 system same as my 16.04 system, with the following selections:
http://
1) First set the window style and icons as follows:
Settings Manager \ Appearance \ Style tab \ select Raleigh
Settings Manager \ Appearance \ Icons tab \ select Adwaita
Click the button labeled "All Settings" to go back to the main Settings Manager
2) Next set the window manager as follows:
Settings Manager \ Window Manager \ Style tab \ select Moheli
And #4
4) Finally, edit the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 configuration file:
# Custom styles
style "default"
{
bg[SELECTED] = "#3B5998" #Active Window Title Bar
}
style "entry" = "default"
{
text[SELECTED] = "#FFFFFF" #Input control selected text
}
class "GtkWidget" style "default"
class "GtkEntry" style "entry"
# End custom styles
The text field of the password box is invisible. The buttons on the password box are invisible.
Results of the Synaptic screen are also provided.
The issue seems to be in the Raleigh Style. Switching to the Greybird Style at least fixes the invisible controls.
What has happened to the Raleigh Style?
Raleigh is only a fallback theme and lacks adjustments for newer GTK3 versions. Eventually, it will be completely removed.

I have not tested it, but a reworked version of Raleigh can be found here:
