Bug Description
The hightlighted text with the adwaita theme is unreadable, white on light gray.
[TEST CASE]
1. Switch system theme to Adwaita (or eGTK).
2. Launch the current Ubuntu Software Center in Precise.
3. Search for any package (for example, Gimp).
4. Single click on the result to select it in the list view.
5. Note that the list uses a white text color and the background is very light, with the result that the list item is unreadable.
6. Close Ubuntu Software Center.
7. Update to the version of software-center in precise-proposed.
8. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
9. Verify that now the selected list view item is readable in the selected theme.
10. Restore your previous theme as desired.
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
Risk of regression is very low. Please look for any anomolies or unexpected visual artifacts in the list view. Everything should be readable and clearly rendered.

Steps to reproduce from duplicate:
When using certain themes such Adwaita or eGTK, selected items in USC use a white text color and the background is very light, making them unreadable. USC should either use the selected background color in addition to the selected text color, or it should not use the selected text color.
To reproduce:
1. Switch system theme to Adwaita (or eGTK).
2. Open Software Center.
3. Search for a string (i.e. "gimp")
4. Click on one of the results.
Expected result:
The item shows as selected while remaining readable.
Actual result:
The item's text turns white and the background stays light, making it unreadable.

This is a issue with the softwarecenter/ ui/gtk3/ widgets/ cellrenderers. py backend code. It appears to be the lack of support for setting "context" to the right selection state.
