Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

During an installation of Ubuntu Natty Beta 1 on a clean computer (VM) the partitioning stage warns us that the "Erase disk and install ubuntu" option will "delete any files on disk" in a font which is barely readable. See screenshot.

This is also true with all explanatory text in the installation options window. Attaching another screenshot.

This should be easy to fix and I asked for opinions at the forums:

No one said it was fine and the harshest opinion violates the code of conduct.

Changed in ubiquity (Ubuntu):

You folks ever look at the page we are on now? There is contrast, you can look that word up, between the background and the font.

Hard as this may be to believe it is a good thing.

Having font and background the same color, even with a difference in shade, is a bad thing. This is known to folks that put things out that they want people to read.
