Dark Menu Bar issue with Dual Monitors

Just updated to High Sierra, MBP 13" early 2015 with 2 external Dell P2715Q monitors attached. The menu bar on the second monitor is just a solid blank white line. If I toggle the "Use dark menu bar and Dock" setting off under "General" settings in System Preferences, both monitors display the menu bar icons no problem, however if I toggle the "User dark menu bar and Dock" setting back on, the second monitor goes back to displaying a solid blank white line. I've tried rebooting, same results.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

So this is interesting, I think I just solved the issue. For anybody else out there that may experience the same issue, how I fixed it was to go to System Preferences and select "Displays" and then select "Arrangement" (which will be displayed on your first monitor) then drag and drop the "white bar" that is displayed in the image at the top of the first monitor over to the second monitor and once that is down, drag and drop it back to the original position.

This seems to have fixed it for me, hope it works for you too!
