Antix Live Remaster GUI (live-remaster) dark theme?

#1 Post by TTwrs »

I'm using the greybird-dark-mx theme and notice the Antix Live Remaster GUI (live-remaster) is stuck with a light theme. Is there a setting or some other way to fix that?

Thanks.

no, a light theme is forced for those scripts because they do not have adaptive colors and certain parts are very hard to read with dark backgrounds (blue text on dark background, etc...)

ok, you could edit /usr/local/share/lib/antiX/antiX-style-default.sh and comment out the two export lines at the top of the script.

Code: Select all

# This prevents gtk themes from interfering with Pango colors
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc
export GTK_THEME=Adwaita
to

Code: Select all

# This prevents gtk themes from interfering with Pango colors
#export GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc
#export GTK_THEME=Adwaita
no reboot required.
