some applets don't adapt theme colors properly on Precise

[dronus]

I am using Gnome Classic session for gnome-panels with the Ambiance theme. After upgrading to Precise Beta, the window switcher and clock applet apperars embossed dark on the dark background, barely readable.

When I switch the theme from Ambiance to Radiance, the clock appears correclty. However, then the battery and speaker icon appear bad. Some things (eg the network indicator) are working fine. Maybe there are multiple bugs.

Summary:
-The network indicator works ok, it changes color theme according to theme.
-The clock applet always appears dark like Radiance needs it
-The window switcher window titles always appears dark like Radiance needs it
-The battery and speaker indicators always appear bright as Ambiance need it.

what a mess :-)

gnome-panel Version: 1:3.3.91-0ubuntu1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The same is happening to me with the jupiter applet when I switch to Radiance theme.

I see also same effect, after upgrading to Precise (final), and same happened to a laptop freshly installed with Precise.

When I select Ambiance theme (or some Ambiance-derived themes, like AmbianceOneiric, Ambiance-Shiki)
the text in some applets like username in 'Indicator Applet Session' is shown with correct color (I believe it's the @dark_fg_color)
while in other cases like the 'Clock' applet or the text for the Application and Places menus are shown in a barely visible dark color.
Font in use is the default 'Ubuntu' one.

When switching to some other light-on-dark theme like e.g. LowContrast, all text is shown correctly, and same for dark-on-light themes like Radiance.

gnome-panel is latest current version (1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1)
