Hi, As of gnome 2.24 and Ubuntu 8.10 the Main menu can be themed separately than the rest of the menus. So if you have dark menus with white text it will be possible to do light Main menu with dark text . That's thanks to benzea and vuntz form the gnome-art community. I contacted them today and asked for help with New Wave Main menu colors. Thy were very generous and committed a patch in gnome that is making the separate themeing possible.
The theme mechanism is done with the name of the Main menu widget which will be "gnome-panel-main-menu" and using of the widget function: widget "*.gnome-panel-main-menu" style "my-theme-style" This is similar to the way you would match the combo-box menu: widget "*.gtk-combobox-popup-menu" style :highest "newwave-popupmenu-workaround" Unfortunately test can be done after Ubuntu includes the fix in the next alpha. But this will help out to the guys who create dark themes and want the Main menu to be lighter or with different design.
