[Bug 78661] High Contrast Inverse Bugs

[Mark Christian D. Lopez]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gtk2-engines-highcontrast

I have found out that using black themes in general in ubuntu currently
has many bugs. Let me post some here for example:

* In Synaptic, the percentages in the progress bars are invisible after
black background covers the percentage black text.

- I suggest that we make the progress bar text active instead when using
high contrast mode, w/c changes color to the inverse of the color of
it's background.

* Deluge and Tomboy won't change their text color from black after
changing to a High Contrast theme if you don't log out.

* Nautilus text still uses black unless you change it in the gtkrc-2.0
file.

We should fix them. I love black themes and I know there are many other
people who do so too, by fixing these we enable good black themes to
sprout out of ubuntu and in the whole linux world in general since these
bugs stop people from using black themes considering they are buggy.
