    I have a 2019 Mac Pro Intel running Sonoma and have installed Ventura via Parallels so that I can run Quickbooks Desktop 2019.

    Everything appeared to be working fine the past couple weeks until I updated Parallels yesterday? Now NONE of my application Menubars display categories (text) in any app? It is a cosmetic issue as the menu items are still there and I can guess by clicking on different menubar positions and dropdown menus appear, but I am flying blind.

    I found some reports of this happening in Ventura with Parallels several years ago, and tried all those recommendations, but none worked for me.
    I did finally go to System Settings >Wallpaper and changed my wallpaper choice and the menubar choices all magically appeared again, but. that only worked once and now everything disappeared again?

    Any thoughts?
