menubar mods

[MyD0j0]

well, please excuse duplicate post in ubuntu studio subforum, but no answers there so guessing this might be an issue that can be addressed in regular ubuntu:

so anyway, thanks for any help!
The menu bar seems to be very dark gray or black on black for all text. Even the time in the top right of the menu/tool bar is so dark against the toolbar color that it can't be seen. In terms of a window with focus, all i can see is the close button (in Studio is just a red circle with an X). No minimize, no maximize, no menu, no time...the text is all too dark to see.

It is there if I guess where to click with the mouse and the text turns gray, but other wise, I have no idea what the mouse is selecting until I select it.

Is there any way to change the colors? The appearance application does not edit the menu bar...

Thanks!

Could you post some screenshots?

Btw, cross-posting is against the CoC (http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php?page=policy).

Attached is the screenshot.

As to the cross post, like I said, I apologize and wouldn't have apologized had I not understood it was against CoC. I do appreciate finally getting a response, however. The problem is that I use my system more frequently than the previous post was getting any replies. How long is one supposed to wait for usability questions to be answered before a cross post is allowed?

Thanks, tlrivll, that does get the text color back in the menu bar but I was hoping to keep the studio theme. As it happens, in ubuntu classic the text colors are there in the studio theme so this appears to be a unity specific problem.
