Gnome has a fundamental DT bug

It appears that GTK's integrated "Search-as-you-type" has a bug (this is the Rhythmbox bug I filed right now). I've seen it in many places around the gnome desktop.

See the bug below for a screenie.

The problem: White is the color for dark themes' text. When the search bar changes, it should either force the text to be black, change the color of the yellow, or detect the lightness and if it's too light, change the text.

Bug filed!

BUG #2: Text Editor

Success! The search match color can now be specified in the style scheme.

Text editor (gedit) is quite good with a dark theme. One thing that might be necessary with a dark background like this is to change the color of the colored text. This is done through menus and is quite easy. That's all right for me! :)


However, there's one minor annoyance, again having to do with a yellow highlight: When you search, it highlights the words, yet when it does so, white text is invisible:


Bug filed!


Overall, once again, four stars!

let's see what the devs can do ;)

BUG #1: Rhythmbox Search Bar

Ok, here's my first annoyance. Rhythmbox's search bar turns yellow when I start typing stuff in it, but since my text color is white, it's near-impossible to read it! Here's a screenshot:

Overall, however, Rhythmbox looks great:

Therefore, our DTFTW rating IS:

Four (out of five) stars! :)

Now just fix that little bug guys!

NOTE: screenshot does not necessarily show my taste for music. In fact almost all of that music is from my sister ;)

EDIT: Bug filed here... we'll see what happens!

Update: The bug was already reported, and it looks like it may be fixed in a newer version :) YAY!
