Making Ubuntu Software Center readable with Dark Themes

[averos]

I don't have dark theme turned on but i am using Adwaita and selected items in software center were completely messed up and text was unreadable.

I opened the CSS file as described by others above

 gksudo gedit /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.css

Then under the two @define-color lines added a third line so the first three lines now look like this

@define-color light-aubergine #DED7DB;
@define-color super-light-aubergine #F4F1F3;
@define-color selected_bg_color #4B97C4;

Now the highlighted background is pretty much the same shade as the Adwaita theme.

I prefer Tommy Miller's file (softwarecenter.css) but with:
@define-color super-light-aubergine #555555;

Try this combination. Looks real nice.

/*
@define-color light-aubergine #DED7DB;
@define-color super-light-aubergine #F4F1F3;
*/

@define-color green #98FB98;
@define-color limegreen #32CD32;
