16.04 How do I stop Dark drop down menus

[Robbyx]

When I click on a drop down menu from a desktop panel it shows a black box, with a background of dark grey and the font in black.

How do I change this to something more useful such as no box edges, light background, black font?

Sorry I can not send a picture because the menu disappears when the screen shot program is running.

Try a time delay when taking the screen-shot and allow enough time to get the menu open.

I managed to get a screen shot:

Is that the default shell theme ?

Adwaita -White.

I have just switched to the default theme and the drop down menu changes, although not wonderful. I can read it, as the text is white on black. I retried advaita-white and the grey background reappears with the text in black.

Is the dark theme option enabled ?

[Robbyx]

No. The dark theme is not enabled!

Does the guest account or a newly created account appear the same?

Guest desktop is different, plain green background, no desktop picture. Drop down menus not showing the fault as in the picture posted above.

There was no specified shell scheme. The other options under theme were all set to adwaita (default)

Does your normal desktop always display as in pic?
Does a logout-login fix?
If it's not occurring in the guest account seems to suggest a user config.
Try disabling any gnome-shell-extensions.

Thank you. I have it working satisfactorily. I changed the scheme and the new one is quite visually attractive and does not cause the display as shown in the pic.
