the font colors are too bright for the background. difficult to read.

[James Baer]

Binary package hint: software-center

When looking at the categories; and when scrolling through the lists, the default font color is too bright. The default background color is white, and the font color is a very light gray.

Hi James. For me, the colors in a list are black on white for an unselected item, white on orange for a focused selected item, and black on light grey for an unfocused selected item. So I don't know where you're seeing light grey on white.

Could you (a) attach a screenshot of the problem, and (b) mention which theme you're using?

[James Baer (auximines)]

Attached is an screen-cap of the problem

I am using Ubuntu Studio 11.04 (default theme)

Thanks

Is that theme installable in stock Ubuntu? If so, where is it available? Thanks.

[James Baer (auximines)]

For "stock" Ubuntu, I don't really know, never had any font color/theme
issues with it. My problem is with the default *Ubuntu Studio* theme.

Ok. In the absence of any evidence that this is a bug in Ubuntu, moving to Ubuntu Studio.

[Hakim Sheriff (hakimsheriff)]

I had the same problem, you just have to change to ubuntu studio theme to some other theme and it works.

[Hakim Sheriff (hakimsheriff)]

Since there are no Styling Hints for the Software center in the Ubuntu studio theme, I think, im not 100% sure though.

[Rafael Vega (email-rafa)]

Same here.

[dino99 (9d9)]

is it still an issue ? As Natty have reached EOL since a while, im closing that report; feel free to open a new one with ubuntu-bug if necessary.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

The USC design has changed completely since this bug was reported, so any color problems with the current version would be unrelated anyway.
