Comment 1 for bug 763422

I'm also having this problem. My top menu bar is almost completely black, but when I get real close I can see the text and the symbols needed for minimizing along with the "File", "Edit", and all. My username and the time are also barely visible.

Is there a way to change the text color and the min. and max. symbols to white, or the same color as the Ubuntu symbol and the rest of the icons? Wifi, envelope, and sound icons are all white and visible.

I'm using a custom theme, but that's all. I've tried changed the font color with no luck. This is the theme I'm using.
