It seems to me like you don't really understand what I am talking about.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough about it.

The following two screen shots should finally make the situation clear:

#1: Clearlooks-Stock-Black-on-Light.png -- This is the state right after
choosing "Clearlooks" from the themes list. (window in the top right
corner of the screen shot) Of course, with stock colors everything works
fine, since otherwise this would not be the default theme. You can see a
border around the file name being renamed, and you can see the non-
highlighted file extension. (window on the left) This is the way it
should be.

#2: Clearlooks-White-on-Dark.png -- Here, the important part is choosing white 
as text color. To make sense of a white text color, you need to have the other 
UI elements be dark. So, I changed the top left color from the theme color 
customizer (window in the bottom right corner of the screen shot) from light to 
dark, and the top right one from dark to light. 
As you can also see in the screen shot, all other folder names (inside /tmp) in 
nautilus are printed in black. So the right side color in the second row (row 
of input fields) of the theme color customizer  is used. The left side color in 
the second row is used for the background of the folder view.
When renaming a file, though, the right side color from the *first* row (row of 
window element colors, buttons etc.) is used, even though the one from the 
*second* row should be used. 

This leads to white text on white background. (Plus a white border
around the renaming input field, instead a black one.)

I doubt that too many people are using dark themes atm, and if they are,
they are not using Clearlooks, since there's a lot of custom dark themes
on gnome-look.org.

Quote: "your screenshots don't show clearlooks stock colors being user either":
ยป If there's a color chooser to be used with the theme, the theme needs to work 
correctly, no matter if I choose to have my windows light on dark or dark on 
light. If it doesn't, it's broken.
