No, that's the dark default one. You need to enable the elive-light-panel theme if it shows up in your theme choicrs.
Yes, and now you too....
Actually I've been thinking we might just shake stuff up a bit.
Instead of having a light Cairo menu with a Light theme menu on one side and a Dark Cairo menu with a dark theme menu on the other we mix them.
So think Dark cairo with Light theme and Light cairo with Dark theme. 
That way your little grey cells will have less trouble differentiating which is which.
Like racking your memory where that handy little application (gnome-system-monitor anyone?) was that you used to do a certain job ....... and by colour association you'll know in which of the two you need to look. 
Let's try (you LOL) ? and show us a picture ?
= Uaaah.....
Bring me my sunglasses then, please ...

We should also not forget to ask @Thanatermesis
what about multilanguage support finally
This will not be interesting to @Hammer459, only...
Have you tried that ..... taking a screenshot of an opened menu? 
I can only do that in combo with "vokoscreen".
Anyway .... It looks messy, so never mind.
But please DO run the "light" themed stuff for a few days and see if you can find bugs or simply stuff you think should be better or different.

This one is mainly for any-one with "perl" capabilities and @Thanatermesis in particular.
As stated in another thread, the icons and the text are too close to each other and the categories need icons.
Which I can only get done by editing ~/.e16/menus/file.menu.
I add the icon and a double space before the text thus:
And has the following result with those 2 entries (not bad):
The problem is that these changes are not persistent on reboot.
I suspect the script "/usr/share/e16/scripts/e_gen_menu" does that but I can't find how to do that in there.
So a few hints would be really helpfull ! Pretty please. 
In the most cases like this one you describe above
it is to solve with changing permissions on the pending files.
I assume you know that, but sometimes little details gets overseen (?)
On boot those scripts initiating e16 have "root" status and I haven't the faintest how to go higher than that. 
Yea I know LOL
I didn't tried yet if ELive is in a smaller WIndow ( VM) if we can screen capture a part of the VM Window (menu).... Or if VirtualBox will capture the mouse and our screen capture tool won't be able to capture a menu...

Hmm, with the -r option (range) that should work. Good thinking.

SHIFT print ? (select area)
what is that option range -r thing ?
Will go try right now...
On the the CML: "elive-screenshot" I alwas use -dpsw (5s delay, png, save, window) or without the "w" for the whole screen.
Works a charm.
-r is select area.

Ultimately, I could write a script that replaces the generated menu every time I log in. That would be a rather ugly hack, but it'd work though.
If you intend to mess around with e16 (even thru the settings menu) .... I suggest creating a back-up copy of your .e16 directory. That way if you mess up really badly, like not being to log in or out or access the menu to change the theme -- you can always put it back through a virtual terminal.
Easypeasy, especially if you've installed "mc",

O M G . . .
Slowly getting there .....slowly because there are some icons missing and have to be found. 
Hmm .... Shouldn't "Game" be plural? "Games"
That was a still from "vokoscreen" and using the -r option with "elive-screenshot" 
Note to self:
- Redo the installation2 pdf that way. Smaller images !

Looks very good.
Seems someone (that we know) was not working as clean as he should, mhm ?!??
