Bug Description

Binary package hint: light-themes

I'm using the Ambiance theme and overall it's pretty nice. But the tooltip boxes have a solid black background and really don't fit the theme. Most of the desktop is light-colored or grayish, and when hovering over, say, the weather applet, I get a big blotch of solid, intense black. The effect is a little jarring.

I'd like to see something a little lighter. A dark background is fine, but something a little other than pure black would look nicer and fit the "light" and "ambiance" theme.

I agree. This needs to be fixed with the Maverick light themes being released tomorrow. The transparent tooltips don't work with half of all applications. Here is the Maverick Radiance theme tooltip with Pidgin: http://imgur.com/fOAfO.png

There's apparently the same problem with Empathy. I know this also effects Firefox with the messages at the top of the screen saying something like "This site is trying to install an add-on."
