I solved the problem for me (workaround): Add this file
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css .menu { border: 2px solid DarkSlateGray; background: #EDEDED; } ** Attachment added: "gtk.css" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1224438/+attachment/3860900/+files/gtk.css -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224438 Title: Menus on evince black with grey text. Status in Artwork for Lubuntu: New Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The evince application's menus do not follow the overall Lubuntu's default theme. Instead they are black in colour with the menu items in grey. This contrasts visibly with the rest of the system, and also because of grey on black, it is very difficult to use. Incative menu items are in light grey with active ones in darker grey. Inactive menu items are bolded as well. This makes the user think the inactive items are active.
