1- I think thats a font problem, try with another font.
2- You have to add something like this:

style "menubar"		
{
xthickness			= 0
ythickness			= 0
	engine "pixmap"
	{
		image
		{
			function	= BOX
			state = NORMAL
			file		= "panel-bg.png"
			border	= { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
			stretch	= FALSE
    		}
 	}
}


class "GtkMenuBar*" 		     style "menubar"
widget "*PanelWidget*" 		style "menubar"
widget "*PanelApplet*" 		style "menubar"
class "*Panel*"		 style "menubar"

Replace panel-bg.png by the image you want.

The same here for the panels:

style "panelbg"
{
  xthickness            			= 0
  ythickness            			= 0
  bg_pixmap[NORMAL]				= "panel-bg.png"

}
class "*Panel*" style "panelbg"
class "*notif*" style "panelbg"
class "*Notif*" style "panelbg"
class "*Tray*" style "panelbg"
class "*tray*" style "panelbg"

You have to check that this options doesn't already exist in the theme. Just in case add the options to the end of the gtkrc file.
Also check at the beginning for the "include" option. They have priority.

I am having a similar problem. I am completely new to Linux and this toolbar. Where is this file that I edit? Thanks in advance

you can add these style parts in your .gtkrc file in your home.

you can add these style parts in your .gtkrc file in your home.

If he's using Ubuntu it would be in the file named 'gtkrc' in ~/.themes/whatever/gtk-2.0/

Remember that you have to substitute your own background though, and possibly tinker with a bit of that text

Thanks, reinstalling libgtk2.0-0 works. In my case it was somehow impossible to reinstall it using apt-get.

For people with the same problem:
First of: I'm not an expert, so don't blame me if anything goes wrong.

- I searched for libgtk2.0-0 on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and downloaded it.

- Then on the command line

sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade libgtk2.0-0_2.10.11-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

and

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get autoremove

And everything looked normal again. There are some files still at the patched version though, but I'm lazy and it works again, hope it does for other people with the same problem.

Thanks! This worked great for me. Man that was stressin me out.

Can anyone give me their contents of, and the name of, the mac menu config file in their home directory?
Mine was accidentally deleted and now it can't load.

Thank you very much!

After following Yuzem's suggestion, I have the same problem (on page 64). I do not understand why. I have been trying to fix that stupid bar for at least a week. I tried many times to fix this problem by manually downloading GTK+ with all its dependencies but it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? If it matters at all, here is a screenshot of my current MacMenu bar. My problem is that annoying gray bar after the title of the open window.

My problem is that annoying gray bar after the title of the open window.

I had the same problem, but I i found a cool fix. Hide the label, and inbetween the mac menu and the start menu, add a Window Selector. so, you have a little icon of the open window instead of the ugly label

"Can anyone give me their contents of, and the name of, the mac menu config file in their home directory?
Mine was accidentally deleted and now it can't load."

Can anyone please supply me with this information? All ya gotta do is open up your home directory and give me the name of the mac-menu configuration file, and the contents as well. Thanks in advance. I think it's called .mac1-menulst or something like that, I can't recall
