I see also same effect, after upgrading to Precise (final), and same happened to a laptop freshly installed with Precise.
When I select Ambiance theme (or some Ambiance-derived themes, like AmbianceOneiric, Ambiance-Shiki) the text in some applets like username in 'Indicator Applet Session' is shown with correct color (I believe it's the @dark_fg_color) while in other cases like the 'Clock' applet or the text for the Application and Places menus are shown in a barely visible dark color. Font in use is the default 'Ubuntu' one. When switching to some other light-on-dark theme like e.g. LowContrast, all text is shown correctly, and same for dark-on-light themes like Radiance. gnome-panel is latest current version (1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948913 Title: some applets don't adapt theme colors properly on Precise Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am using Gnome Classic session for gnome-panels with the Ambiance theme. After upgrading to Precise Beta, the window switcher and clock applet apperars embossed dark on the dark background, barely readable. When I switch the theme from Ambiance to Radiance, the clock appears correclty. However, then the battery and speaker icon appear bad. Some things (eg the network indicator) are working fine. Maybe there are multiple bugs. Summary: -The network indicator works ok, it changes color theme according to theme. -The clock applet always appears dark like Radiance needs it -The window switcher window titles always appears dark like Radiance needs it -The battery and speaker indicators always appear bright as Ambiance need it. what a mess :-) gnome-panel Version: 1:3.3.91-0ubuntu1 OS Version: Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/948913/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
