Ubuntu 20.04 update bug.

Post by inferno »

This is pretty much just for Les.

Had sheetcam for years now, really enjoy the Linux version.

Just updated from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04 (Newest LongTermService).

Seems that they have managed to break your window color palette.

Hopefully my screenshot uploads. It's still fully functional, and for people who know their way around the program it's not a big deal, but for a newbie I can imagine it would be a tough go. The menus/buttons/fillables, are all really hard to see.

Admitidely it could be my fault? There might be a setting I'm missing, but from my perspective the only change was an upgrade from 16.04 to 20.04.

Yes, that's because I'm using GTK2, which is pretty old and no longer well supported. Try experimenting with your GTK+2 color profiles. Some still work.
Part of the reason for the recent and rather painful upgrade to wxWidgets3 is so that I can use GTK3 which is much better supported.

Thanks for the reply. This is why I love SheetCam! A developter that doesn't reply with "Lynne Who!?" when asked a Linux question.

Most of my computers run Linux. The only Windows machine I use on a regular basis is the one I develop SheetCam on. I have to admit Visual Studio is much nicer to use than any of the Linux IDEs.

Okay I found the settings.
You can change the theme with the gnome-tweak-tool in the section 'Appearance'.

With the standard theme:
