gtkrc is producing light menus from dark elements

[Doug McMahon]

[Impact]

Menu items for apps using gtk2 use a light color, which is inconsistent with all other system apps using gtk3 and that are using dark menus.

[Test case]

Right click on any window's title bar
In app window menus of gtk 2 apps, examples - synaptic, browsers where global menus aren't used, vlc with no global menu, ect.
Right click in a browser's menu bar
Systray right click menus

The in app window context menu of gtk2 windows should be dark.

[Regression potential]

Menu items not usable or readable in some apps.

I'll go ahead and accept this but the bug is missing an SRU test case and regression potential.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Hello Doug, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-themes into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-themes/14.04+16.04.20171116-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]

Thank you for taking the time to verify this stable release fix. We have noticed that you have used the verification-done tag for marking the bug as verified and would like to point out that due to a recent change in SRU bug verification policy fixes now have to be marked with per-release tags (i.e. verification-done-$RELEASE). Please remove the verification-done tag and add one for the release you have tested the package in. Thank you!
