MX Linux Forum

My wife and I are Boomers (79 and 80 yrs) and longtime Linux users. I tried to interest some other local Linux users recently in forming a "rescue a PC" service for people planning to junk their Win 7 (yep) or Win 10 computer after they'd bought the latest and shiniest Win 11 model. The rescued PC ...

Hi, rawmx. It sounds like a problem with settings in LO, which admittedly are pretty complicated. I'm also running MX Linux 23.4 Xfce 64bit, LibreOffice version 7.4.7.2 with an Australian locale and the spellchecker works fine. You're welcome to private-message me to see if we can work out where the ...

QGIS is in the Debian repos and is version 3.22.16-Białowieża. I've been running the "Linux version" of QGIS without problems for years. Is there a reason you want QGIS 2.18.10 for Windows?

Apologies, that does work! Many thanks. When I wrote "other apps" I was seeing what the vimix GTK theme was doing, not your suggested CSS. I'm back to my preferred theme and all is well with the CSS tweaks to Thunar and Claws Mail.

@fehlix, thanks again. Yes, changing theme also works for me and selected messages and folders are background=blue, text=white with (for example) mx-comfort. Do you know a way to change those colors application by application, other than with the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css hack I mentioned in my ...

@fehlix, many thanks. In your screenshots the selected message has the font changed from black to white and there is a blue background. What I am looking for is a way to change these colors in Claws Mail only, not a system-wide change in the theme. I can do this with Thunar, but not Claws Mail.

I ...

How to modify the GTK colors for Claws Mail 4.1.1? The releases page [https://www.claws-mail.org/releases.php] says the "4" series releases are built with GTK+ 3, but I can't modify the "view" colors in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, as I can with (for example) Thunar:

Got it! Here's the command:
sakura -c 160 -r 55 -d /home/bob/Desktop -e /usr/bin/ranger
The trick was to add the "-e" option for the terminal command,
