Hi, I'm Christian, a software engineer working on Puck. Many people using the Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution with the Unity desktop noted a problem of legibility of the main menu in Puck. Two solutions to resolve the issue: 1. Upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04 called "Vivid Vervet": Java main menu has a better integration in this new version. or 2. Stay with an old Ubuntu version: you need to apply the following easy tips. a. Copy the /usr/share/themes/Ambiance directory to the .themes directory in your home (note that the "." is part of the name of the target directory). You can use file browser or line command ( mkdir ~/.themes ; cp -r /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/). b. Fix the GTK configuration file: open the ~/.themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file and replace style "menu" { by style "menu" = "dark" { then save, it is over. It is strongly recommanded to apply the solution 1. Regards. |

Thanks for the solutions. I had this problem and it helps me a lot. Nevertheless, I used this third solution (on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS) inspired by your second solution: mkdir ~/.themes cp -r /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/Ambiance And then I modified the file ~/.themes/Ambiance//gtk-2.0/gtkrc style "menubar" = "dark" { by style "menubar" { Thus, the style used for the menubar is also valid when the theme is set to "dark". An other trick to have a better visualization of separators in the menu in this very same file I did the following modifications: style "separator_menu_item" { xthickness = 6 #annegf initially set to 1 ythickness = 6 #annegf initially set to 0 GtkSeparatorMenuItem::horizontal-padding = 0 GtkWidget::wide-separators = 2 #annegf initially set to 1 GtkWidget::separator-width = 2 #annegf initially set to 1 GtkWidget::separator-height = 7 engine "murrine" { contrast = 0.9 #annegf initially set to 0.6 separatorstyle = 0 } } |

Hello, What about the same problem on other linux distros, such as linux Mint ? I'm using Puck 2.3.40 and Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64 bit (I don't have the theme "Ambiance" as a default one...) Best regards, Pietro |
