Binary package hint: indicator-messages

I use a theme that is a mixture of dark and light colours (the panel and menu's being dark, but the window contents being light). With this theme, the messaging indicator has the wrong background colour (it looks the same as a lighter colour used in the Nautilus window shown in my first screenshot).

At first glance, it seems that the Human theme and other dark themes don't exhibit this problem. However, as you can see from my other 2 screenshots with the Human theme and Dark room (which is a consistently dark theme), on closer inspection it is apparent that the colour is also incorrect with these themes (it just doesn't stand out as much).

If I change the panel background to a solid colour or an image, then the background of the messaging indicator looks ok. It is only wrong when I set the panel background to use the system theme.

I assigned this to indicator-messages as opposed to indicator-applet, as it seems that the indicator-applet does everything necessary to set the correct background colour.
