    12.10 unity white text on white backgrounds

    Texts within windows is appearing white on a white background.
    I believe it is theme related but I am unable to identify exactly what configuration change is needed.

    I've attached a screenshot that shows it effecting certain windows
    eg: appearance
    but not others
    eg: compiz

    The problem seems similar to the below but I haven't been able to find the exact windows effected

    Are you using gnome or Kde as your desktop Gui if gnome

    run the following from terminal

    Reset Icon Pack

    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme ''
    Reset Theme
    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ''
    
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme ''
    
    gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/general/theme ''
    Reset Launcher
    Code:
    gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites

    Reset Panel

    Code:
    gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
    Hope it works.
