The branch version is very readable on my five years old notebook with a CCFL-backlit TN-panel - even from an angle like when reading disabled me-menu items, even at the lowest brightness setting. (Not so much on my CRT, but that thing is ten years old and gotta diediedie!)
I really prefer it over the bright version current Firefox and Thunderbird menus use (see screenshot) - readable yes, but also too present for a disabled item. I guess if you'd make those darker you'll again end up with too low contrast. ** Attachment added: "tb-menu.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/617192/+attachment/1637780/+files/tb-menu.png -- [maverick-beta] Disabled menu items unreadable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/617192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
