Changing font color

System: Xubuntu 12.04 Beta
Version: 4.8
Using this custom theme

I am working on making Xubuntu 12.04 look as much as possible like the "Ubuntu Classic" enviroment that Ubuntu has dropped since 11.10. I've made good progress, but there is one very annoying bug that I cannot seem to solve. There are multiple applications where the background and font are nearly the same color. In the photo below the fonts are white and should be black. How would I change this? (I think I need to change something in ~/.themes/Ambiance-Xfce-LXDE/gtk-2.0/gtkrc ,but I do not know what part to change.)

This is how it should look:

Thanks in advance, and thanks to the devs for making something that does everything Gnome no longer thinks important.

Re: Changing font color

Those are probably gtk3 applications.
So you should edit the files (like 'settings.ini' or 'gtk.css') in the gtk-3.0 folder of the theme you're using.
Text is foreground colour (fg_color or similar).

Re: Changing font color

Hmmm, I tried many different settings in both of those and none seemed to change anything with update manager. Perhaps these will be helpful:

Re: Changing font color

This is interesting. I installed the theme in 11.10 (oneiric) and it looked fine. Then I installed it in 12.04 (precise) and got the same white on grey as you're seeing. I don't think its an issue with the theme itself, but with something else in the xubuntu install. Haven't been able to locate it yet.

Re: Changing font color

That is very interesting. I suppose I'll put this on hold until 12.04 goes stable. If it isn't fixed with the updates then I guess it is a regression.

Re: Changing font color

I noticed, for instance, that here in fedora some part of the Adwaita theme is compiled (binaries) (it doesn't need to be so, AFAIK).
So maybe something similar is happening there. If some part of that theme is in binary form then to tweak it one would have to rebuild it from source.

-edit- also what happens is that the theme engine changed and that brakes the themes made for an earlier version. I didn't go through all the files you posted, but maybe, a not very sure maybe, you could check if there are any parts using white and try to change them.

Re: Changing font color

I'm having the same problem with the standard Albatross theme and today's release of Xubuntu 12.04.

Re: Changing font color

My goal is to use the theme I am currently using, not switch to a different one. Thanks though!

Perhaps I will try upgrading to Xfce 4.10 and see if that makes a difference.

Re: Changing font color

I had the same problem. All I did was to login to root in terminal (sudo su) and copy gtk.css and gtk-widgets.css from /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0 to /usr/share/themes/Albatross/gtk-3.0 (Please take backup of both the files before you try this). It worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

I tried that and it did not solve the issue.

Re: Changing font color

Get them at http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/A … ent=146674
There are others at http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/A … ent=147891
Notice that there are themes for 'earlier Ubuntu versions' and for the latest. I.e., the GTK3 specs keep changing and the themes break from one version to the next.

Re: Changing font color

Excellent, those are far more functional. However, my dropdown menus (applications & places) are now white. Regardless, I'll take unmatching menus over unreadable fonts any day.
