greets!
Nik had a color problem in konqueror, I have one in VLC. this is in a variant of Trinity called q4os running Buster and VLC 3.0.10.
if I open 'multiple files' menu and add video files, the line for the first file is legible, the next line is black (not 'blank' but black) and this alternates.
in fact a similar phenomenon occurs if I go to Tools --> Preferences --> Show Settings (All).
here I get the alternating readable/black line but if I click on the black line it's readable but as a white font against a blue background.
I am using the default skin; other skins don't help. no other application I'm using shows these symptoms.
there are probably questions to answer about the display manager and so on but I can't anticipate them so I await them or advice.
thank you!
Hi!
VLC uses GTK, you can play around with the settings using lxappearance. But you might need to install gnome/gtk themes, too.
ok, wasn't sure if vlc was gtk; loaded up lxappearance but nothing of clear (to me) relevance, experimenting so far hasn't helped. I probably need to log out and in.
I'll look around in the gtk config files too.
flying blind. good tip though - gtk, thank you.
Can you send a screenshot?
Nik
yes, not the best resolution but it's not art:
here is the window for 'multiple files' selection: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13d060QVRfN9aVStgKyB_sPmPQ70vdId1/view?usp=sharing
here is the window for 'advanced preferences': https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aVkgKLlLPF8ajxeTh_DeFPDHgco_E3yU/view?usp=sharing
note how in the 'advanced preferences' window 'Network Sync' has been selected yielding white font against blue background.
Aehm .. would you mind attaching the screenshots?
