If you look into the gtkrc files for the human-theme themes, you'll find this
section:
style "murrine-radiocheck"
{
text[NORMAL] = @selected_fg_color
text[PRELIGHT] = @selected_fg_color
bg[SELECTED] = @selected_bg_color # HACK: override button selection colour
}
At first, I though I solved the problem by commenting out the text[NORMAL] line.
#text[NORMAL] = @selected_fg_color
This did solve the menu drop-down issue. However, I soon discovered it
created an issue with regular radio buttons and check boxes. They were
now black instead of white by default. The black against the dark brown
color that is the default for human-themes caused the check/dot to
barely be visible.
Next, I commented out the bg[SELECTED] line.
#bg[SELECTED] = @selected_bg_color # HACK: override button selection colour
This lightened the brown color in the background of checked check boxes
and radio dots to a usable state. It works, but it's hardly ideal.
Ideally, I'd expect checks/dots in drop-down menus to be black by
default and white when moused over. I'd expect regular check boxes and
radio dots to be white normally and black when moused over.
