I recently decided to go back to Ubuntu's default "Ambiance" theme in Unity, but doing so resulted in dark text on dark menus (like the one in the attachment), which I find hard to read! This only happens with menus in the menu bar; my context menus are fine. How can I fix this?

This just happened to me. It seems to be some sort of a side effect of installing other desktops -- I installed kubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop to experiment with them and saw this on my first login back to Unity. I'm adding this as a comment because I don't have a solution yet. In my experience, it's not so easy to remove desktop environments once they've been installed, so ultimately I'll probably reinstall Ubuntu when I'm through testing.– Tommy TrussellMar 7, 2015 at 0:31

I'm noticing that there seems to be something messed up with all the Unity themes -- either the fonts or the color or the font size are all wrong. I just switched to the Radiance theme because it's the least bad one for now.– Tommy TrussellMar 7, 2015 at 0:38

To leave some "breadcrumbs" here's what I've tried (though neither worked): (1) reinstalled the light-themes package containing the Ambiance and Radiance themes. (2) recreated the font cache using "fc-cache -rv" ... I logged out and back in afterwards. If either helped at all I couldn't see the difference.– Tommy TrussellMar 7, 2015 at 1:05

Here's another clue: askubuntu.com/questions/593081/unity-default-settings ... When I did this I found the theme TEMPORARILY looked right. HOWEVER I opened a terminal and ran the command unity-tweak-tool --restart-unity as mentioned there, and the command never finished. I finally killed it off and couldn't operate Unity, so I opened a VT and rebooted -- to see that the themes are funky again. I just tried to run unity-tweak-tool --restart-unity from a VT, and it doesn't work.– Tommy TrussellMar 11, 2015 at 17:02
