Confirmed. But the problem is just Java failing to pay attention to the theme correctly. It uses the right background colour, but not the right font colours. It's still using a fixed font colour that works only on lighter backgrounds. This is a bug in openjdk-8 (or netbeans itself, not sure).
** Summary changed: - Fix for #961679 - dark menu bars doesn't look good for disabled elements + In Java apps like Netbeans, dark menu bars don't look good for disabled elements ** Package changed: ubuntu-themes (Ubuntu) => openjdk-8 (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729558 Title: In Java apps like Netbeans, dark menu bars don't look good for disabled elements Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This fix, #961679, specifically Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:346 (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art-pkg/ubuntu- themes/trunk/revision/583), makes disabled elements in menus look terrible. Unfortunately I'm not aware of an easy way to get screenshots of open menus, so hopefully these attached phone pictures of Netbeans are enough to illustrate the issue. As you can see it is hard to tell the difference between what is disabled and what isn't, and the disabled items look fuzzy (easier to observe on monitor). I really don't see the issue with lighter menus, but if they must stay dark then the readability / contrast of disabled items needs to be fixed.
