Created attachment 1557068 [details] Rawhide panel text unreadable Description of problem: The Menu Bar often has unreadable text depending on the selected theme. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mate-panel-1.22.0-3.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use default "Menu Bar" (aka custom menu bar) 2. Select Adwaita theme 3. Depending on screen background, text for the menu bar in the panel may be unreadable. Actual results: Menu bar text appears as white (for example) on very light backgrounds making the text unreadable. The clock text however appears black and is readable. Expected results: Menu bar text should be readable, as it is in Fedora 29. Additional info: The "MATE Menu" (aka Advanced MATE Menu) doesn't have this problem. Not all themes have this problem, but Adwaita, Mist & Clearlooks do, while Menta doesn't. I have attached a screen cap showing the panel text as it appears in Fedora 29 (working) and Rawhide (not working).

Adwaita them don't support mate-panel. Please choose another theme, eg. the MATE default theme BlueSubmarine. It has a reason that we ship our own theme.....
You add this to your user config. [rave@mother ~]$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css /* mate-display-manager */ foo-scroll-area:selected, foo-scroll-area:selected:focus, foo-scroll-area:selected:backdrop { background-color: @theme_selected_bg_color; } /*mate-panel menubar */ .mate-panel-menu-bar menubar > menuitem > label:backdrop { color: @theme_fg_color; } This overrides every theme setting or helps fixing missing theme settings. MATE-1.22 supports the backdrop state now. For some reasons the panel menubar use always the backdrop state. Our MATE themes aren't updated to support this new state yet, so you don't see that with them. If you think this is a MATE issue than please file out a report at https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues I can't fix that here for third-party themes like adwaita.
