GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 634839
Windows 7 64-bit font color wrong in highlighted items in drop-down menus
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:47:18 UTC
This report pertains to version svn-19805. Steps to reproduce: 1) Click on any drop-down menu (File, Edit, etc.) from the main screen. 2) Move the mouse over any of the items in a drop-down menu (e.g., File -> New). Actual Results: As the mouse passes over each item, the drop-down menu item is displayed with a black font on a blue background. Expected Results: The font color should be white, as it is when an account is selected in the main window. Additional Information: This bug does not occur on my Windows XP Professional 32-bit installation. I've seen this bug in various versions since svn-r19534, though it could have been present earlier.
Partial Workaround: I am currently using GnuCash 2.4.5. You can use the Gtk2 Theme Selector (gtk2_prefs.exe) to choose a theme that displays the menu font in a color that is more visible. Instead, I ended up choosing the MS-Windows theme to create the preferences file .gtkrc-2.0 and then added a line in the file to change the menu font highlight color to white. Here is my .gtkrc-2.0 file: # Auto-written by gtk2_prefs. Do not edit. gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows" style "user-font" { font_name="Tahoma 9" fg[PRELIGHT] = "#FFFFFF" } widget_class "*" style "user-font"
Created attachment 217525 [details] White on White "Open" File->Open menu item bad forground/background for selected menu items
Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
