2007-01-10 08:01:46 Mark Christian D. Lopez description Binary package hint: gtk2-engines-highcontrast I am using ubuntu edgy, and I noticed while using the High Contrast Inverse theme and other black themes that the percentage have black text and are therefore invisible. - I suggest that we make the progress bar text active instead when using high contrast mode, w/c changes color to the inverse of the color of it's background. I have screenshots to prove this and I don't know if it affects other apps too, but I will post if I found out other apps that don't work well under High Contrast Inverse and other black themes. Currently, I also found out these bugs after using a few black themes: * Deluge and Tomboy won't change their text color from black after changing to a High Contrast theme if you don't log out. * Nautilus text still uses black unless you change it in the gtkrc-2.0 file. Please fix them. I love black themes and I know there are many other people who do so too, by fixing these we enable good black themes to sprout out of ubuntu and in the whole linux world in general. Binary package hint: gtk2-engines-highcontrast I have found out that using black themes in general in ubuntu currently has many bugs. Let me post some here for example: * In Synaptic, the percentages in the progress bars are invisible after black background covers the percentage black text. - I suggest that we make the progress bar text active instead when using high contrast mode, w/c changes color to the inverse of the color of it's background. * Deluge and Tomboy won't change their text color from black after changing to a High Contrast theme if you don't log out. * Nautilus text still uses black unless you change it in the gtkrc-2.0 file. We should fix them. I love black themes and I know there are many other people who do so too, by fixing these we enable good black themes to sprout out of ubuntu and in the whole linux world in general since these bugs stop people from using black themes considering they are buggy.

That way, websites who think that controls normally have black text and freely change the background color to something light will still be visible. Putting a trick like background color detection for an adaptive text color feature might work better but is much programming work. We should fix them.
