Thanks to Slávek, I've just had the least-painful
system upgrade in the
(heavens! can it be?) 20 years I've run Linux exclusively. It wasn't
totally trouble-free, but it was less awful than I usually encounter.
But now I'm encountering a problem that is
annoying: menus in Firefox and
some other applications are reversed, white text on black background.
Any quick and easy fix? Am running 14.04 on Ubuntu
14.04 (and preparing to
revel in the new features everyone else has had for three years . . .).
Which
Firefox version from which source? Mozilla.org builds recent versions
using GTK3. Some distros still build some versions using GTK2. The two toolkits
depend on different theming.
I've run into reversed UI colors several times before, but always forget exactly
how to fix it by the next time it happens. I only remember messing with GTK app
theming to solve it.
