Description Gavin L 2007-11-18 16:26:22 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I have a dark theme with white text. Since the search bar turns bright yellow, there's no contrast, so I can't read what I've typed. The gnome widget does not change the default text color, but does change the background color.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Switch to a dark theme with light-colored text
2. Open Rhythmbox or another application with search-as-you-type, like the Tracker search tool.
3. Start typing in the search bar.


Actual results:
The text is unreadable because of the super-low contrast

Expected results:
The text should (obviously) be readable. Perhaps the yellow could be a different color depending on the text color, or maybe the text could just be forced white.

Does this happen every time?
Yep.

Other information:
I believe this is a general problem with GTK+, since I have seen it in quite a few apps, but I'm not sure where it should be filed.

Not a standard GTK+ widget
