Checked menuitems are identifiable with the Sorbet and Homosapiens themes

[Michael Bienia]

Binary package hint: community-themes

With the Sorbet theme the "check" in front of menu items is not visible (it merges with the background). Only when I hover over the menu item I can see if it got checked or not (e.g. "Lock To Panel" from the context menu of an applet). It is a little better with the Homosapiens theme, but still to less contrast (using a white check in a light theme doesn't work well).

Just in case anybody doesn't know how to fix this: System -> Appearance -> Customise -> Selected Items (Text). Set it to something like "#684E44" in "Colour name".
To make this more permanent (until the package is updated), change /usr/share/themes/Homosapien/gtk-2.0/gtkrc: change "selected_fg_color:#FFF" to "selected_fg_color:#684E44".

Hopefully this can be fixed in the package.
