<p dir="auto">First of all, let me say sorry for the fact that this issue will most probably not comply with the issue reporting guidelines. This is due to the fact that I am not a developer using electron but just a user using electron apps, in particular Franz (<a href="http://meetfranz.com" rel="nofollow">http://meetfranz.com</a>) and Skype (the new electron version of it). Since the issue I want to report appeared in both apps, I assume that it is an issue of electron itself, but if I am wrong here, let me know.</p>
<p dir="auto">The issue is of rather cosmetic nature: The text color in the menu bar seems to be hard coded to white when not hovered and black when hovered. This leads to the problem that in dark themes the text becomes hard to read when hovered and on light themes when not hovered. Here are some screenshots demonstrating the issue in Skype:</p>
<p dir="auto">Light theme, not hovered: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1191480/26819946/5afdde44-4aa1-11e7-97ae-0d6f34cd9567.png"><img src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1191480/26819946/5afdde44-4aa1-11e7-97ae-0d6f34cd9567.png" alt="auswahl_054" style="max-width: 100%;"></a><br>
Light theme, hovered: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1191480/26819944/5af10cf0-4aa1-11e7-8f73-4ef3a30d232e.png"><img src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1191480/26819944/5af10cf0-4aa1-11e7-8f73-4ef3a30d232e.png" alt="auswahl_053" style="max-width: 100%;"></a><br>

<ul dir="auto">
<li>Electron version: Unknown, I'm using binary packages of Franz and Skype.</li>
<li>Operating system: Manjaro Linux</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h3>

<p dir="auto">The text color in the menu bar should follow the theme settings like in native (GTK) applications</p>
<h3 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h3>

<p dir="auto">The text color is hard to read if hovered on dark themes or not hovered on light themes</p>
<h3 dir="auto">How to reproduce</h3>

<p dir="auto">Use Skype or Franz on Linux with light or dark GTK themes.</p>
<p dir="auto">Google recently added a "use_gtk3" build flag to Chormium - export GYP_DEFINES="$GYP_DEFINES use_gtk3=1"﻿.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think most end-users on GTK3 desktops would prefer to use modern widgets. It might be too early to add it as a default, but eventually it be nice.</p>
