** Description changed: - Using the High Contrast theme, the panel in the GNOME Classic session - gets a black background colour. However, the Main Menu applet is - rendered with just black text, and no background of its own, so the text - is unreadable. + [IMPACT] + In Ubuntu 12.04, the High Contrast theme draws GNOME Panel (in the GNOME Classic session) with a black background colour. The Menu Bar applet is also drawn with black text, so that text becomes unreadable. This renders the GNOME Classic session unusable for users of high contrast themes. - I have encountered this issue in Ubuntu 12.04 and current Ubuntu 12.10, - and it renders the GNOME Classic session unusable for older users with - vision problems. An SRU would be highly appreciated. + This bug is fixed in the latest version of gnome-themes-standard (seen + in Ubuntu 12.10), so we need to cherrypick that fix for Ubuntu 12.04. - Workaround: - Alt+Right click the offending panel, open the Properties dialog and set a white background colour. + [TESTCASE] + Install the packages gnome-panel and gnome-accessibility-themes. + In Appearance settings, change the theme to High Contrast. + Log out, and log in using the "GNOME Classic" or "GNOME Classic (no effects)" session. + The text in the panel's menu bar applet (on the top left) will be black against a black background. + + [Regression Potential] + The version of gnome-themes-standard that originally received this fix does not have a High Contrast Inverse theme. So, I needed to come up with new colour definitions for that theme. Those colour choices could use some scrutiny. + + [Other Info] + As a temporary workaround, Alt+Right click the offending panel, open the Properties dialog and set a white background colour.
