The menu text and the menu background color in Sublime Text 2 are the same.
I also made a post on “ask Ubuntu” a week ago:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/983887/cant-read-menu-text-in-sublime-text-2
On Ubuntu 16, using the “Tweak Tool”, I’ve set a global night theme.
All other programs I’ve looked at are not experiencing this problem, e.g. Netbeans, Eclipse, Terminal, Files, and others. (since I’ve asked in “ask Ubuntu” 7 days ago, I haven’t found any similar issues in other programs I regularly use)
Sublime text 2, version 2.0.2, build 2221
See screen capture: Unable to read menu in Sublime Text 2 version 2.0.2 build 2221
Please let me know if image is not available and I will put on imgur
As we can see, the menu names on the top are visible, the menu text is not visible unless I highlight it with the mouse cursor.
I’ve tried to change Preferences->Color Scheme and Preferences->Font, but that only affects the content of the files that I’m editing, not the menu font/color for Sublime.
Any ideas for troubleshooting? Thanks.
Apologies if this has already been answered. I’ve spent a non trivial amount of time doing internet searches for similar problems and have come up empty.
