Public bug reported:

Some themes (Greybird, Elementary) use dark-panel & light window title-
bar (When it is not maximized). As new Unity window decorator uses same
title-bar foreground color for both normal & maximized windows, window
title on unity-panel is not properly visible as it becomes dark-text on
dark-panel. I have attached a screenshot.

This forces theme developer to use use same background color for both
unity-panel & un-maximized windows, which breaks theme design. The idea
is that theme-developers like to think unity-panel as a panel & not just
a title-bar for maximized window.

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Theming, color set in
UnityDecoration.top is used for both unmaximized & maximized window.

UnityDecoration.top {
 color: @dark_fg_color
}

And when this is set, the color set in .unity-panel.menuitem is ignored
for window title text in panel (it still paints some other text in panel
like indicator-datetime)

.unity-panel .menuitem {
    border-width: 0 1px;
    color: @panel_fg_color;     # this does not affect window title text anymore. 
}

This color (OR unity.panel foreground color in UnityPanelWidget) should
be used to paint the window tile text for maximized window, as it used
to be in old compiz-decorator.
