I am building a new workstation -- running Ubuntu 16.04 -- to
replace an old and failing workstation. I used the TDE ISO
to get 'things' started.
Several of my programs are displaying in a weird window format.
(I am not sure if attachments are permitted, but)
Attached are a couple of examples
Display_OK.png
--- is a zenity --info --title=Display_OK --text="Hello World"
running on my "failing" workstation.
Display_snafu.png
--- is the same zenity --info --title=Display_OK --text="Hello World"
running on the new workstation.
Bluefish_snafu.png
--- is bluefish running on the new workstation.
I see the same for the AisleRiot solitaire program.
No doubt it is something "simple", but nothing comes to mind.
Thanks in advance,
Jonesy

OBTW, it's Trinity 14.0.5 ...
I now see some error/diagnostic messages I did not see before:

Well,
$ locate tdegtk

/usr/share/themes/tdegtk/gtk-3.0
/usr/share/themes/tdegtk/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
OK -- Now I'm definitely in an area where I have no knowledge or
experience.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance,

Popup/Dialog looks okay (just like Display_OK.png).
Ah, oops?, in TCC >> Theme Manager it shows a complete blank, so I'm guessing
I have no theme selected, so it's using some default from don't know where...

Sávek,
Thanks for the reply and suggestion!
That "sort of" fixed the window snafu.
(I wonder WHY that needed to be done when using a Trinity ISO install...)
But, the resultant window display is bizarre, and nearly unusable.
See the two BlueFish window images for the good/expected appearance,
and the new bad/bizarre/unusable appearance.
Granted the version numbers between the two BlueFish are different,
but that cannot explain the display appearance.
The only errors I see now when running BlueFish from the command line
may not have a bearing on this appearance "issue":
|jonesy@nix5:~/tmp$ bluefish
|error reading list 1 Error opening file: No such file or directory

|config file migration error 1:Error opening file: No such file or

That last line above was - yes - all one line.
