What top bar do you mean? Can we get a screenshot?

It's probably the window manager theme, if you're talking about the color of the window titlebars and borders.

Can you cut and paste the output of Neofetch in code tags so we have an idea of what you're using now, like this?

Please edit your post using the pencil icon

to wrap the information inside of code tags. Example: [code]log file contents, configuration file contents and terminal text go here[/code]

Code: Select all

to make it look like this, which is a lot easier to read for large amounts of text:
1. It really stands out as being separate from the text that you're typing due to the different background and font colors
2. It also puts it inside of its own little frame with its own scrollbars, making it easier to navigate.


To do this, select the text by dragging your mouse over it while holding the left button down then click the </> icon in the forum's editor's toolbar and click the Submit button.

Thanks.

Well, the code tag didn't work, but you can change the window manager theme in Settings "Window Manager" from Arc Dark to some other one that's not dark.
