SuperNova: menus and tool bars harder to read?

I use the theme "System Theme - Auto" which is a medium bluish color. After the SuperNova update it appears darker, and/or, the fonts for the menus are a finer/thinner letters. The result is less contrast between the letters and background color, making it more difficult for aging eyes to read.

Has anybody noticed this? I tried the light theme option, which was like generic off-white wall paint, very unattractive after years of color. Is there a way to alter the font's thickness, or font used in the menus?

The fonts for the Menu Bar and context menus can be adjusted with css:

/* Menu Bar font */
menubar > menu
{ font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font-family: Times, serif !important;
}

/* Submenus and context menus font */
menupopup,popup {
    font-size: 12pt !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
    font-family: Times, serif !important;
}

Woah cowboy, I'm not a programmer, just a regular user. Your suggestion went so far over my head that even with a cloudless sky I couldn't see it. ...but thanks for trying to help.
