Bug Description

Labels (Font) on main page (Get Software) of lubuntu software center are barely visible. I can barely read the different categories.

This seems to be related to themes but not caused by them as the theme works perfectly with all other applications as well other pages of the lubuntu software center.

Theme usually use either Dark Font on Light Backgrounds OR Light Fonts on Dark Backgrounds. Otherwise text is not visible.

If your theme use the second combination, the lubuntu center have light fonts on a light background and are barely visible.

I might be wrong on that but it seems that the Get Software page uses buttons but without the buttons showing or menu items without the background showing, which in combination 2 themes are usually darker to make the light text visible. Here you have the light text showing against a background using the base_color from Gtk3 settings.ini (i.e. cannot be changed by user).

Talk to me if you need further information. You can easily reproduce this by swapping the bg_color and fg_color (fonts) in lubuntu default so that it has light font on darker backgrounds...

You might have to use something other than buttons (e.g. URL links?) on that page or make sure the buttons (button backgrounds) show to set off the light text.

If you need more info... talk to me.

It is a pretty good app.

Thanks.
