    Hi, in firefox my fonts on the toolbar (File Edit etc) are black and i'm using a black theme. Is there anyway to change them to white? Also, I need to update the Alsa drivers to a beta version 1.14rc2 I believe. Thats the version that works with my sound. Can anyone help me do this. I need very specific step by step (Like go into the home directory) Thanks. As you can see i'm a linux noob :( I'm using Feisty btw.

    EDIT: Got the sound working. Now I just need to get the font so it's readable.

    If the menubar/toolbar is the only thing that concerns you give this a try:

    1) In firefox type in about:config
    2) Right-click anywhere on the page and choose new-->string
    3) Enter ui.menutext for the name
    4) Enter your preferred color in HTML format (ex. white would be #ffffff)
    5) Restart firefox

    Note: This will also change the color of your menu items, so hopefully those remain readable depending on what theme you're using.

    As BigV mentioned, Neutronium is a very popular and polished dark theme with all the necessary patches included for various things. There are a few variations on the Neutronium theme such as Neutronium Gilouche ( http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php/Neutronium+Gilouche?content=57176) if the original one doesn't fit your tastes for some reason (It's very mac-ish). You should be able to find them all on gnome-look.org.
