Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better and sorry for the long time without response. The issue
you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice that if it is
still present in current versions someone could send the bug to the
developers of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please
tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a
bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Title:
inappropriate color theme in the contact list
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
A slight usability issue, certainly because of the default empathy
color theme. On the contact list, when using the drop-dowm menu to set
your status ("Available", "Busy"...), the text color is dark grey on a
black background. Unless you are lucky to use a monitor with strong
backlight, this is obviously not the wisest choice for readability.
Hoovering the menu entries with the mouse does reveal the text better
(orange background with white text) but this is not intuitive at
first.
Proposed solution :
Instead, the color layout in the drop-down menu of the contact list should be
set to white font on dark background as it is for the Me Menu under the mail
icon. One might argue that people are more likely to use the Me Menu instead of
the contact list. Still, this fix will bring a little more consistancy between
all the available options for the user.
