I use Lubuntu 12.04 and I have become obsessed with the looks of it!

There is a type of themes that I especially want to use (flat, light), all related to the Elegant brit theme. On my desktop it looks like:

As I want to replace the dominating orange with blue, I would prefer even more the theme Elegant Brit re-Revisited

The problem is that both of them have a problem with my system tray, a white background appears:

A theme that is almost identical to the orange one, but has no problem with the system tray is called Elegant Blackle.

I have tried to use this one and replaced the gtk2 folder in its main folder with the gtk2 folder from Elegant Brit re-Revisited. The result is an improvement for me, as I have eliminated a part of the orange stuff with a decent blue :). The orange now appears only with the gtk3 apps, which is rather amusing.

Migrating also the gtk3 folder from the blue to the orange theme would bring the sys tray problem too: it is something related to that gtk3 folder. But this is another matter.

Now I have something very close to what I want. But I especially would like to have a feature that was present in the Elegant Blackle theme and now is gone as its gtk2 folder was replaced by that of the blue theme: the black font of the menus, instead of the blueish ones.

Could anyone instruct me what is to be changed in the gtk2 folder of the Elegant Brit re-Revisited theme so as to make the menus look like this (like they do in Elegant Blackle with its original gtk2 folder):

and not like this? :

(on my display this blue is more whitish).

An alternative and ideal solution would be knowing how to edit the Elegant Brit re-Revisited theme so as to remove the systray problem or, maybe easier, to edit the orange colour of Elegant Blackle theme to as to be completely replaced by the blue of the other one.
