Thanks @octoquad! 😊 Applied your debdiff patch and tested. Replaced these 3 files with the patched one:
/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/utils.py /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/view/catview.py /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.adwaita-dark.css But modified the `utils.py` file a bit, so that it loads themes other than Adwaita in dark mode.😁 I've attached the modified `utils.py` file here. ** Attachment added: "Modded utils.py for loading any theme under dark mode" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/899878/+attachment/4752817/+files/utils.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899878 Title: Software center have hardcoded colors and shows white font on white bg Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Fix Released Status in software-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in software-center source package in Trusty: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] * A user is unable to view the text within the software center application which makes the application almost unusable. * Ubuntu GNOME users that are currently using a dark theme with an LTS release requested that the fix be backported to trusty from wily. * This fix applies a custom style sheet for the dark variant of Ubuntu GNOME Adwaita theme.
