Selected items in USC are unreadable with certain themes

[Cassidy James Blaede]

When using certain themes such Adwaita or eGTK, selected items in USC use a white text color and the background is very light, making them unreadable. USC should either use the selected background color in addition to the selected text color, or it should not use the selected text color.

To reproduce:
1. Switch system theme to Adwaita (or eGTK).
2. Open Software Center.
3. Search for a string (i.e. "gimp")
4. Click on one of the results.

Expected result:
The item shows as selected while remaining readable.

Actual result:
The item's text turns white and the background stays light, making it unreadable.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Bug 844814 was a similar issue with a specific theme; perhaps this is related?

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