You can't change the color of the text, it's always white. And apparently you can't change it with code either.

Doesn't work well with Salient theme. When uninstalling, the plugin would not uninstall cleanly. It was giving a critical error message. I uninstalled it through cPanel. I have used it several times in the past with no problems. Maybe it needs an update?

Top Bar works well enough but engages in abusive business practices. They do not send a notification before they automatically renew your license. In my case, I no longer needed an unlimited license and asked support to please change my license to a single site and refund the difference via a support ticket. They didn't email a copy of the submission and never responded in any way to my request. After a week or two, I sent a direct email to their support. Still waiting after one month for any response. I have canceled my subscription and won't do business with this company again. I replaced Topbar with Notibar. A fantastic replacement that has more flexible appearance options and it's free!
