Problem With Font Color In Ubuntu 12.04

Sometimes when you change setting to make your themes nicer, it makes your fonts can't easily read. I found this solution.

How To Remove Envelope Icon From Top Panel Ubuntu 12.04

If you don't like to use the envelope ( like myself)  just remove it from the panel. Code:

sudo apt-get purge indicator-message

or just open the Ubuntu Software Center and search for "indicator-messages" then uninstall.
But i prefer the apt-get.

Ubuntu 12.04 Black Screen After Logout

There were lots of suggestions and answers I found regarding this matter but the one that worked on my end was a very simple one. It was all about the screen display resolution. My laptop has a standard 1366 x 768 (16:9) resolution. For some reason this was changed to 1360 x 768. 
The change is very minor but this, in fact, was the cause on why I get a black/blank screen when I logout. After restoring to the original resolution, everything is now back to normal and working as it should be.

Go To  System Setting 

Choose Display

ok.
