Bug Description

The background around the screen in the Appeatance->Look->Background is of the wrong color. It is a different shade of gray (#F2F1F0) than the gray everywhere else (#F7F6F6).

See attached screenshot. At the bottom of the screenshot is a high contrast version of the same window, on which it is more obvious what is wrong.

Using version 12.04 with all updates.

I did some further research.

1. this bug is not present in precise alpha 1 (but the UI has changed since)
2. the color around the screen is always the same as the color around the tabs. Changing to a theme that has both of these colors same "fixes" this bug (like the provided high contrast theme).
3. I browsed the code of gnome-control-center in launchpad, and am quite confident that the primary-color (pcolor) and secondary-color (scolor) got mixed up. The code is in the file:

Thanks lenooh, I doubt that's the issue though, glade on the .ui has the same bug so it's not likely the code, bug #922516 states it's a theme issue, it seems that it's somewhat due to the notebook use...
