Cannot see Firefox's "Activity Indicator" due to Ubuntu's theme color

[nick rundy]

Binary package hint: firefox

To create vertical space on my computer, I have always displayed only Firefox's menubar (and no other toolbars) to browse the web. I move any needed icons including the address-bar etc onto the menubar. One of the icons I use a lot is Firefox's "Activity Indicator." Ubuntu 10.04 by default has dark control panels, and Firefox's menubar has the same dark theme. I use Firefox's Activity Indicator often to learn whether a page is still loading or not. Unfortunately, when using Ubuntu I cannot see the activity of the Indicator because of how dark Firefox's menubar-controls are. It is essentially useless under Ubuntu because I cannot see whether it is spinning or not. I am using Ubuntu's 10.04 "New Wave" theme. I like this theme very much, but the Activity Indicator is a problem.

I filed a Brainstorm on this and was told to submit a bug report: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/26911/
