I think this must be specific to Unity. I can't reproduce it on non-Unity-capable systems (KVM and NVIDIA - the latter can work with Unity after installation but not straight off the live CD).

Could we get a screenshot?

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Dmitrijs, thanks for working on this. It looks much better in Adwaita or in High Contrast!

I did see a regression though. The partition labels at the top of the manual partition editor are now white and they should be black. It shows up as white text on white background in both Adwaita & High Contrast.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Also, while we're tweaking things to look better on Adwaita, the note on the first screen should be a darker gray or black.

By the way, do you plan to land the fix for this bug after Beta 1?

Yeah that looks odd. That is a custom widget, but I'd expect it to use "regular" color of a "normal" label.
Is that a horizontal scrollbar I see?! There shouldn't be any.... Or do you have like 100 partitions?

Not sure about that one. It should be a normal label in the GtkNotebook. Maybe it has style small applied or something like that, to make it a notice... check the code/glade files and or theme definitions.

ubiquity (2.11.31) quantal; urgency=low

  * Buffer reads from debconf-copydb. Python 3 defaults to unbuffered reads
    from byte streams, which is much slower.
  * Port oem-config-remove-gtk to Python 3, now that
    python3-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets exists; the final piece!
  * Remove Python 2 support. We aren't going back now.
  * Remove the rest of the long-dead PS3 port.

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Allow going from the encryption key setup page, to the disk space
    allocation page. (LP: #1046323)
  * Correctly apply styles to the title & progress sections and not the
    centre piece. This means themes are no longer required to provide non
    standard @dark_[fb]g_color colors, instead 'menubar' Gtk CSS style is
    used. This also fixes long standing a11y issues in HighContrast themes
    & requirements for non-standard color definitions. (LP: #744283)
  * Make lables in the segmented bar use the same colours as normal labels.
  * Changing the "Add/Remove/Change Partiontion" buttons to mixed
    symbolic/text buttons should make the screen comply with Ubiquity
    Design spec ( http://goo.gl/Kokw5 ) and address confusion about the
    updated screen. (LP: #1045799)
  * Fix the disappearance of crypto password field (LP: #1045716)
  * Fix misallignment of crypto password fields (LP: #1045712)
  * Make setup security key page go back to ask page (LP: #1045698)
  * Remove powerpc/ps3 low-memory profile, as it doesn't do anything any
    more. gnome-session-remove command is no longer present, and the init
    processes it tried to stop no longer exist under those names. We do
    want a low memory profile, which ubiquity-only mode now.
  * ubiquity-wrapper: Add support for udisks2 inhibit, drop devkit-disks
    inhibit. (LP: #719338)
  * Prevent progress label to expand & shrink the window (LP: #1046241)
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.122ubuntu9.

  [ Dylan McCall ]
  * Fixed slideshow_get_available_locale missing new locales in
    extra_slides_dir. (LP: #1046511)

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
