Java isn’t hardcoding them, it’s pulling them from GTK. There is the possibility that it’s pulling the wrong type of element colour (sorry not sure about terminology).
I guess the test is to find a GTK 2 app with disabled menu elements that previously had a white menu which is now black wih this patch. I did make a test Java Swing app and the disabled elements looked bad, so it’s not constrained to Netbeans at least. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729558 Title: [regression] In Java apps like Netbeans, dark menu bars don't look good for disabled elements Status in Ubuntu theme: Confirmed Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This fix, #961679, specifically Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:346 (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art-pkg/ubuntu- themes/trunk/revision/583), makes disabled elements in menus look terrible. Unfortunately I'm not aware of an easy way to get screenshots of open menus, so hopefully these attached phone pictures of Netbeans are enough to illustrate the issue. As you can see it is hard to tell the difference between what is disabled and what isn't, and the disabled items look fuzzy (easier to observe on monitor). I really don't see the issue with lighter menus, but if they must stay dark then the readability / contrast of disabled items needs to be fixed.
