Username and password on the login page is not visible in Classic theme

[RadekHvizdos]

Describe the bug

When I type a username and password for login to Cacti I don't see typed characters in Classic theme. On some browser/OS combinations the placeholder text for Username and Password is also not visible.

I think a character's color is equal to background color.

This is a similar bug to #3535

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Switch to Classic Theme

2. Logout

3. Try to login

Expected behavior

I should be able to see the placeholder text and what I am typing into the input fields.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information)

• OS: Windows 10

• Browser: Brave, Firefox, Internet Explorer (yuk!)

• Version: latest

Smartphone (please complete the following information)

• OS: Android 10

• Browser: Brave, Firefox

• Version: latest

Additional context

I can fix the issue by editing the theme file and adding "color: black" here:

# cat /usr/share/cacti/site/include/themes/classic/main.css.fix
.ui-state-default {
        background: #FFFFFF !important;
        border: none;
        font-weight: normal;
        padding: 2px;
        color: black;
}

But this is probably not the correct solution.

Thanks for pointing this out. Classic is like a burr in my saddle, but so many people love that tombstone theme.

@TheWitness What is wrong on classic theme? I prefere Paw, classic and maybe modern. The others are confusing and ugly (for me). I switch to paw because classic has few bugs. I thought about new Classic+ or fix Classic

@xmacan, after 18 years.... Nothing is technically wrong with it, but after all that time looking at the same canvas, It'll drive you insane. Too late for me :)

[TheWitness]

Close enough I hope.

Hmm, I copied and pasted and it turned green. Let me check that color.

Okay, I think it should look better now. Though I like your button color, going to defer due to "Classic". You can fix by "cp -rp classic mytheme".

Neither changes take any effect in my setup, the input fields do not show the hints or characters I type :(
