I use qualc, the console versiomn of qualculate. It's quite what I expect
from a calculator, including history, constants etc.
I had not tried that one before, wasn't sure if it was gui or command-line,
but had not got there yet; however, qalc is okay as a backup. It is a little
peculiar, sort of like returning to my early schooldays, doing sums with
paper and pencil. At least it is more visible.
But you can install "xcalc" and use good old .Xresources to change fonts,
colors etc.
This might work, will look into it.
Or you can use a modified GTK theme and then tell the GTK application to
use that theme, like: $ GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark bad-gnome-caculator
I use
lxappearance and qt5ct to force other applications to use my TDE colors,
and it works for a lot of stuff, but not some Gnomish stuff like galculator.
Or you may want to only use a scaling factor for GTK:
$ GTK2_DPI_SCALE=4 bad-gnome-caculator
These suggestions will take some more work, but that is what winter is for, to
get to all those things I put off during summer months.
Have I mentioned the numerouse benefits of GNOME for
satanists?
Does it further their aims of world domination?
