Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-themes
This problem occurs in Ubuntu 6.10.
I don't know if this is the right product or where I should file this complaint, but I hope it is right. Most laptop screens and especially old laptos, doesn't reproduce colors very well. Especially nuances of light gray looks indistinguishable from white. gnome-panel and metacity shades the icons of minimized programs in gray. That makes some icons almost invisible when they are minimized.
Almost all icons suffer from this problem, but some more than others. For example, nautilus' and firefox' icons are clearly distinguishable when they are minimized in gnome-panel and metacity's alt-tab list. But xchat-gnome and gedit's icons, which are based on the colors white and yellow, are totally invisible. So either change gnome-panel so that it shades to darker gray colors or make the worst icons use more contrasting colors or redraw the lightest icons.

Thanks for reporting this issue. You can easily setup your gnome panel to use different colors. Or you can use another icon theme. You can also check if Ubuntu 7.04 has a better color scheme. On the other hand, if you still feel this needs to be fixed, please report this upstream.
