The selected menu items cannot be seen in gtk3 applications

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

I am running F24 on my machine, and having problems with gtk3
applications. A very annoying problem is that the background color of
menus seem to coincide with the highlighted menu item. So, one cannot
see which menu item is being selected. Any workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Hi Paul, I have had the same issue and not just with menu items, I have 
had the same issue with inbox selections in my mail client, and the 
button tool tips in Yumex. I have found its all to do with the colour 
scheme that is being used combined with the theme. I am using the violet 
desktop colour scheme along with the Breeze theme for GTK3 applications, 
which seems to eliminate the white on white or white on light grey 
unreadability problems.

regards,
Steve

Thanks, Steve. I would like to keep the theme I am used to. Maybe, it
is possible to configure the color scheme in each gtk3 application
without changing the global theme.
