Bug#808093: gnome-panel: text color is the same of background

[Sandro Tosi]

using gnome-tweak-tool to set the global dark theme helped (see
attachment) but now it's grey, while I'd rather it to be black, do you
know how to change that value (and maybe also how to make the text in
bold)? trying to find information about themes in gnome-fallback is so
hard, as most of the articles are about gnome-shell :/

and funnily enough, the login-after-lock-screen env has a nice black
bar, with test in white and bold (but cant take a screenshot for
obvious reason), that's what I want :)

Thanks for your help!
