Title Bar Buttons Are Invisible With Dark Theme on Windows

Project Member Reported by mevissen@chromium.org, Jun 10 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 67.0.3396.79 (Official Build) (64-bit)
URLs (if applicable) : N/A
Other browsers tested: N/A
Platform: Windows 10.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1)
Use dark theme, such as
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/earth/jieopfhnlbjmbpckpdhfdedccdmngdac

What is the expected result?
Title bar buttons (close, minimize, zoom) should be visible, and change appearance on mouse over

What happens instead?
Minimize and zoom are never visible, regardless of mouse-over. The close button becomes visible on mouse-over (see screenshot), but is otherwise not visible.

I should have added, the buttons are visible when the windows is not focused. See new attached screenshot, with unfocused window above a focused one.

The extension's frame color is white but the frame image is black. The extension should be updated so those match.

this is coming up in user feedback as well, such as:

(maybe?) http://feedback/#/Report/85498938133

I don't think it's clear to users that it's a theme issue, they think that Chrome is broken. Is this something we can fix or should we communicate to users that they should change their theme?

#6: I'm surprised by that first one, the black button background should be sufficient to cause the glyphs to be white. Maybe it's using an image; otherwise it could indicate a real bug.

Otherwise, there's not a lot we can do in the short term. Most of the themes with this problem are already broken in other, less obvious ways. In particular, they can have contrast problems with inactive tab text and the toolbar top separator since they key off the same incorrect values (the theme linked in this bug is especially problematic).

In the long term we're looking at removing the developer/consumer model of themes by making them easier to create in the first place, so hopefully we won't have this problem where themes get posted and then abandoned. Instead, the user can tweak the theme as they see fit.
