If you use skype with the default 10.04 theme you can't read any menu because the font and background colours are too similar.

Click on the skype symbol on the bottom left. Click on Options, six entry if you are not able to see it at all.

It will open a new window, on the right there is a combo box labeled "Choose Style", click on it and choose Desktop Setting. Restart Skype.
