I know there are a million posts on this but not a single one has helped me solve this...
I'm trying to change the color of the top menubar/status bar of the system. I've managed to set the transparacy of it using some fancy commands in the terminal but trying to change the actual color is a nightmare. It just stays black! I'm trying to set it to white.

I've tried modifying the unity.css file of the theme I'm using by setting the @dark-bg-color and @dark-fg-color values but all that seem to do is change the menu colors of the windows that open up for each program, not the actual status bar of the system.
