how did I do that
Themes are described in text files in the folder
/usr/share/themes
. Specifically themes use what is termed Content Style Sheets to define what they should look like.Since these are text files - you can edit and change these easily.
First you have a choice - you can edit the files directly - or via a copy in your own home folder.
If you edit the files directly, then an update to the theme will overwrite all of your good work ... but then again - it may be the update you are looking for.

What you want to edit is in this section of the file:
You need to add
text-shadow: none;
to this section (i.e. between the{
and}
curly brackets) so that it now looks like:Logout and login to see the change take effect.
