Bug Description

If CapsLock is turned on accidentally on login screen then a warning sign (exclamation mark in triangle) appears in password field.

It is not obvious what does this icon mean, so it seems that average user would try to read the tooltip of the icon.

However, out of the box in xubuntu 12.04 the tooltip of this warning icon is written with white letters on very light yellow background, so it is completely unreadable (check attached screenshot).

So if user accidentally turns on CapsLock on login screen he/she will be unable to login and would not figure out what is the reason.

That's a theme issue (with our "Greybird-lightdm" hack in precise). I can't test on quantal right now to check if it's been fixed.

That's fixed in quantal already, I just checked. I opened a task for precise, Simon, please close it if the fix would be too big for a Stable Release Update. ;-)

The easy and quick fix is to swap the tooltip-fg and tooltip-bg colors.
The tooltips then have dark background and are not ideally distinguishable from the rest of the UI, but at least they're readable :)

## gtk.css
@define-color tooltip_bg_color #333333;
@define-color tooltip_fg_color #fffde0;

## settings.ini
gtk-color-scheme = "base_color:#686868\nbg_color:#444444\ntooltip_bg_color:#333333\nselected_bg_color:#9db6cd\ntext_color:#efefef\nfg_color:#efefef\ntooltip_fg_color:#FFFDE0\nselected_fg_color:#F5F5F5\nlink_color:#74a0c6\nbg_color_dark:#686868\nfg_color_dark:#fcfcfc"

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
