Description Michael Hofmann 2007-11-26 13:03:30 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When using black/white as bg/fg and white/black as base/text colors, the combobox is the only widget that uses the text color (black) to display the text on the button and the menu entries. A screenshot is attached.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Setting->Appearance->Customize Theme->Colors
2. Set a dark window background and white foreground
3. Leave white background and black text for input lines 
4. Look and click on a combobox of your choice


Actual results:
dark text on dark background

Expected results:
bright text on dark background

Does this happen every time?
yep

Other information:
I would be thankful for any pointers how the colors in the combobox are determined so I could prepare a patch. I'm a bit hesitant to change anything in a 170k gtkcombobox.c without knowing much about the inner workings.

I played around a bit more and the problems seems to be gone when switching from ClearlooksClassic to the new Clearlooks, although the bug also exists (to different degrees) in other themes (Crux, Glossy, Glider, Industrial, Mist).
