Description Christoph Wickert 2011-02-17 21:19:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
In GNOME3 fallback mode, the panel is using 2 different themes. The main panel and some applets are black, others are grey. The fonts are black too, so you cannot see text in applets applets.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-panel-2.19.6-5.fc15

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot f15 alpha with a computer that cannot do 3d
  
Actual results:
Panel uses two different colors, text in applets is black and unreadable.

Expected results:
All applets should use the same thee as the panel, text should be visible.

Additional info:
Reported to be fixed upstream on 2011-02-06.

Issue confirmed for nightly spin desktop-i386-20110217.22.
Comment 2 Joachim Frieben 2011-03-08 13:55:39 UTC 
No improvement for current F15 plus updates-testing including packages:

- gnome-panel-2.91.91-1.fc15
- gnome-themes-2.32.0-5.fc15
- gnome-themes-standard-2.91.91-1.fc15 .

The fallback desktop looks currently fairly awkward. What one would expect is the panel using the same inverse white-on-black scheme as the GNOME shell does. Given that GNOME 2.x is able to use inverse schemes there is no factual obstacle for adopting the inverse scheme throughout the entire desktop.

(In reply to comment #2)
Correcting my previous statement, a clean user account using stock desktop settings actually exhbits a significantly improved look now. The clock applet shows a correct rendering of white text on a black background. Menus and calendar widget exhibit the traditional dark on light colour scheme which is probably desired.

Theming issues in fallback mode should be much improved in 3.0.0
