lightning task list colour hard to read

[John Pye]

Binary package hint: lightning

In Lightning on Ubuntu 10.04, the default text colour in the Task List of Lightning is a pale grey, which is very hard to read, especially on some laptop screens.

A patch is needed to replace some text in a Lightning CSS file from 'MenuText' color to 'black'. All the details are here.

I tested the patch by changing the file locally (nested in Jar) and it worked fine. This was with Lightning 1.0b2, installed locally.

I have reported the bug here as I believe the Lightning team may be unwilling to consider this as a bug, although I have also left a comment in Bugzilla:

In Lightning 6.2.5 in Ubuntu and Xubuntu 18.04 the task list text is black so changed some time in the last eight years. Closing as fixed.
