Font color in Software Center with Adwaita dark theme

[Sergey Zolotarev]

The text is not readable when Adwaita theme is chosen (ships with gnome-shell or perhaps Ubuntu itself, not sure). Look at the screenshots.

It seems you forgot to attach the screenshots! :-)

Ah! Sorry, here it is:

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Adwaita is not included with Ubuntu, but it is the default for Ubuntu GNOME Remix. Adwaita is shipped in the gnome-themes-standard package.

It looks like you are using the "Enable dark theme for all applications" option in Tweak Tool. I'm not so sure whether that setting is supported. Anyway, if you use that option, expect that several apps will have trouble with it.

The blue highlighting is also a problem with the HighContrast theme and was reported among other problems in bug 1083262.

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

It also affects Ubuntu Gnome 13.04, which is now an official release. With the default theme selected items are white on a light background. Software center does not properly use system colors in its UI.
