Q: Cannot disable dark menu bar in El Capitan
An app I was using turned OSX's "dark menu bar" option on, and, while I like it better than the light menu bar some of my menu icons are not visible in dark mode and so I'd like to turn it off. However, the problem is that I cannot. Each time I uncheck the "use dark menu bar and dock" setting in System Preferences > General nothing happens. Then when I close System Preferences and open it again I find that the box is once again checked. (I've also uninstalled every trace of the original app that made this change, reinstalled it, tried turning the option off, erasing it again, etc - all to no avail).
I've tried checking in the Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences, but there doesn't seem to be an option for this setting (while I can see the setting for hiding the menu bar).
Any ideas?
