Ambiance theme text stays black -

Question

I have used Jono Bacons creating your first ubuntu application to discover how to theme toolbars using the ubuntu theme. I followed the exact same code and the program loads with a black toolbar, however the text on the buttons does not change colour and stays black.

This is an image of my apps issue:

Jono's text colour however turns white when the style is changed.

This is the code I have used:

    self.mainToolbar = self.builder.get_object("mainToolbar")

    mainToolbarStyle = self.mainToolbar.get_style_context()
    mainToolbarStyle.add_class(Gtk.STYLE_CLASS_PRIMARY_TOOLBAR)

I have been tearing my hair out over this and I'm sure there is an easy solution.

Thanks very much for any help you can give!

I strangely fixed this issue by adding in a Menu Bar that I had removed at the start of my design. The text is now white. I would love to know what caused this!
