How can I read Skype's menus on a dark theme?

Question

If you use skype with the default 10.04 theme you can't read any menu because the font and background colours are too similar.

I've always just squinted REALLY hard. I'd definitely like to find an answer for this — Marco Ceppi, Aug 25 '10 at 17:13

Click on the skype symbol on the bottom left. Click on Options, six entry if you are not able to see it at all.

It will open a new window, on the right there is a combo box labeled "Choose Style", click on it and choose Desktop Setting. Restart Skype.

Just a nice trick that I have discovered right now by sheer chance. Let's share it here as I believe we are building a very useful Ubuntu knowledge base. – Javier Rivera Aug 25 '10 at 16:10
