[ambiance] cpufreq applet has dark text on dark panel

[Reed Lipman]

Binary package hint: light-themes

Cpufreq-applet's text is hard to read in the dark theme. It's black text on a dark panel. See attached screenshot.

Might be a bug in gnome-applets.

Still happening in 0.1.5.3

[Linux000 (michael-yoyo)]

Confirmed, the text color does change

[Linux000 (michael-yoyo)]

Sorry, the text color does not change, my bad, It also affects the human theme when the menu is set to a dark color.

[Pablo SEMINARIO (pabluk)]

I've tried with the DarkRoom theme (included in the package human-theme) wich has a dark background color panel and text color is displayed correctly.

Fix ported in my branch from lp:dusttheme.

@ James:

In your Branch Rev.39 the text in the active-tasklist in Ambiance is white, too. Maybe this bug was fixed, but another was opened!
Take a look.

This bug returned in maverick. Do I need to open a new bug or is there something I should update on this bug?

[bbordwell (benbordwell)]

Since this bug is easily reproduced I am setting as triaged. Also I am removing the assigned to status of James Schriver since he assigned himself 7 months ago.

[bbordwell (benbordwell)]

Here is a screenshot of the issue on a fresh maverick install, just added two cpu-freq montiors to the panel on top, notice that you can not read the text.

[John S. Gruber (jsjgruber)]

Please see lp:#640096, where a patch is proposed for the regression of this bug.

[bbordwell (benbordwell)]

Thanks John, also a helpful hint: if you write bug 640096 launchpad automatically makes it a link.

[bbordwell (benbordwell)]

I am going ahead and marking this as a duplicate of bug 640096 since it has the patch and a request for merging already even though this was the original bug report.
