Description
In nearly every mythfrontend theme, ActiveText? (in qtlook.txt) is #dcdcdc, and it is placed on a white background in some pull down menus, option boxes, and select buttons. This is essentially off-white on white, and is either unreadable or mostly unreadable on every screen I have.
Adjusting this to just about anything darker (i.e, #999999 or #499999) fixes this.

This change breaks formatting in MythCenter?. Text boxes using the on-screen keyboard are unreadable (gray on light-blue). Changing MythCenter?/qtlook.txt back to #dcdcdc makes text boxes readable again.

I agree with anonymous - on a TV screen it's unusable for me also.

(In [14085]) Adjusted activetext RGB value from #dcdcdc to #999999 to make it more readable on some screens. closes #3778
