Bug Description

The buttons controlling playback in Unity's Sound menu are solid black on hover except for the icons in them when using Salience. They should use the same dark gray the rest of the theme uses, among other things.

Note that this bug does not exist if one is using the theme in Quantal. Why, I do not know.

Do you want to ask Daniel Fore about how to fix this? It's not an issue in the elementary theme, so it must've been fixed somehow. Last I tried, I couldn't find out where the fix was.

I want to try a couple more things first. I've been looking at the indicator-sound source and it sounds to me like we might actually be attempting to theme what is called a "TransportWidget". Specifically, the draw() function in transport-widget.c might offer up some clues, as that is where it appears the sound menu buttons are actually being drawn: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/indicator-sound/precise/view/head:/src/transport-widget.c

The trick then is to decipher the Gtk drawing code to try and figure out what we're actually trying to target in the CSS. I'm currently reviewing the Gtk+3 documentation to figure out what the different functions in there near the top do.

Aha! It looks like the buttons get their theming from *.menu. Got their coloration mostly fixed now except for hover (they're still black then).
