On dark-theme bug that exists for quite some time already and that e.g. forces apps like ardour into using an own theme is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382646 On a slightly related notes, what about my proposal in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524966 That could help developers to understand what colors are used.
