Almost I can not recognize the hover effect.
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Enable Menubar
2. Mouse hover over menu or keypress alt key
Actual Results:
Almost I can not recognize active menu.
Expected Results:
More lighter background color.
PS. I think hover active color of caption buttons are also less contrast

Tabs in background are too dark to see sites that just happen have a dark FavIcon, Impossible to see so selecting tab is slower since you can't pick out tab by FavIcon.
I would also point out that NOTHING in Win10 has a 'dark' toolbar, they are all very light is not White. So this theme is a poor attempt to blend with Win10.

https://github.com/ is a good example of bad favicon contrast. Maybe the background color behind favicons on dark background tabs can be brighter so favicons' transparent pixels have more contrast while leaving the rest of the tab dark?

Another example that makes this pretty conspicuous is the new tab favicon if you have the activity stream add-on set up.
All of the offenders I've seen tend to be grayscale favicons, usually with only one shade of gray (not accounting for anti-aliasing pixels). They're almost always visually pleasing if you invert them, but it seems a bit hairy to try to do that automatically.

If I'm not mistaken this is behind the MOZ_PHOTON_THEME ifdef which isn't riding to beta55, so updating flags.

I've seen a few people point to this bug as the one for "dark favicons hard to see with the new dark Photon titlebar". But... that's not actually what this bug was filed about.
It's actually not Photon-specific; the same issue exists with the Compact Dark theme, which has shipped with DevEdition for quite some time. So bug 1094357 would be more relevant for the favicon issue. (I'm a bit surprised it has so little activity, given that Github is the canonical example of a problematic icon, and that's a common site for developers to use.)

Why is this not in the same block as the other rules that you modified? Is this really meant to take effect under other circumstances?

Indeed, that wouldn't be helpful. I'll change it.

We don't have the dark Photon color in 56, so this shouldn't be an issue.

Hello all,
I managed to reproduce this issue again with the latest 65.0b5(20181217180946) build.
I pulled the following regression : https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/pushloghtml?fromchange=d8e07613f15e55f43d654af8708ffa0cba1710d1&tochange=d341e1dcdfeff2ba187ada77af2e77f4b430604d
It seems that the issue which causes this may be Bug 1511905 - Fix window controls' hover and active colors in light titlebars on Windows 10.
Johann, how would you like us to proceed with this issue?
