Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: human-theme
I'm noticing this for the first time in lucid.
If you look at a check box in a dialog or on a web page, it looks fine.
By default, the bgcolor is selected_bg_color and the check or radio dot
looks white until moused over and it looks black. However, if you look
in a drop-down menu that has checks or radio dots, they are white both
when moused over and not. This causes a problem. It's very difficult
to see the checks and dots when not moused over because they are white
on gray.
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.
I don't know that murrine currently allows a way to switch by context
like that. I was unable to find any substantial documentation on the
murrine engine. Otherwise, I would attempt a fix myself.
