Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-artwork
Although there are some bug reports for this already, they are under specific apps or dialogs, so I felt compelled to enter my own report. The new theme is very nice, however sometimes the light fonts are placed on light backgrounds, creating nearly impossible to read text. Attached is a screenshot of firefox, although other programs are also affected.
Another example is IDLE - the code completion feature as well as the docstring tooltip
Also dark fonts may occasionally be placed on a dark background, resulting in a similar problem.

Here is what I have done as a workaround (which I think is quite nice looking)
under appearances - new human - colors - input boxes I have switched this color to #908174, which allows for readability of both light and dark text as well as fitting in nicely with the rest of the color scheme.
