Description Wolfgang Schulze-Zachau 2009-02-12 14:16:40 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The standard deployment under MS Windows uses libwimp.dll for themes. When used in conjunction with MS Windows Vista and the default Vista Basic theme, selected menu items are displayed with white text on white background (in other words the text disappears).
This behaviour does not appear when using any other theme. Changes in any of the "classic" themes are reflected in the GTK applications. Changes to the Vista Basic theme have no effect on the rendering produced by libwimp.dll

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start any GTK application under vista. 
2. Select an item from the main menu
3. Text will disappear


Actual results:
Nothing, I simply cannot see the text of the selected menu item

Expected results:
I would expect to see the text rendered in a color different to the background (any colour would be fine).

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Is the version correct? 2.10 is an obsolete version of GTK+.
