The root cause is the use of transparency in the Lubuntu-default theme. Can be fixed by editing:
/usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-default /gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets-toolbar.css And replacing '@transparent' with '@bg_color'. Deleting the file altogether also seems to work with no apparent problems. Lubuntu Trusty Beta 2 no longer has this file and the buttons in evince have been removed in favor of a more traditional menu bar. ** Changed in: lubuntu-artwork Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224438 Title: Menus on evince black with grey text.
