The arrows that appears when there are too much tabs in Firefox have colors inverted when using Ambiance theme

[fain182]

Binary package hint: firefox

Arrows are brighter when disabled, and darker when active, on a dark background should be the opposite..

In the screenshot at the left the arrows enabled, and at the right the one not enabled.

I'm going to have to change the package for this when I find out the right one for themes, since this is not actually a Firefox bug but a problem with the Ambiance theme (default). Setting to the 'Radiance' theme gives a light arrow (light on light) for 'disabled' and a dark arrow (dark on light) for enabled. Playing around with themes in general seems to confirm the arrows shape and color can be themed, so the Ambiance theme has just got it wrong.

I haven't tested it but I think the change needs to be made in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/light-themes/precise/view/head:/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/gnome-panel.css

In:
PanelApplet .button:active

                                     from (shade (@dark_bg_color, 0.85)),
                                     to (shade (@dark_bg_color, 1.0)));

Although I'm unsure where these files are installed on the system to be able to test myself.

That is not an icon from the icon theme. It needs to be fixed in theme

This is actually a very annoying bug for people with many active tabs. It gives the exactly the wrong affordance for when you quickly wish to discern whether you have more tabs or not in a certain direction.
