Title: Problems with themes and colors in the terminal.
Post by: unix4lif3 on 21 May 2021, 02:00:11
Hello, I'm testing Artix Base (OpenRC) on my virtual machine and then put it into practice on the real machine, however, I had problems with the themes and background colors of the terminal in the MATE Desktop Environment. I select all the themes that come with MATE and the Vertex theme but the problem still remains.

Someone with the same problem?  :o
Thanks in advance!  :D

After each fresh install of Artix Linux XFCE OpenRC I see this (but don't blame Artix, because I had this phenomenon in other distributions):

When choosing the Adwaita theme, I notice that the visual themes are mixed.
The background of Dolphin, Gimp, or some configuration windows is black...

I found an unscientific method to fix it (it has been working for over a year):

Reinstall all the packages present.
sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qnq)

After this "cure", all the colors are correct everywhere ... on condition of commenting (add # at the beginning of the line) in /etc/environment the two lines:
# QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2
# QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk

Thanks in advance!  :D
My two cents  :)

All this mess was caused by a missing closing quote (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,2605.msg17179.html), a simple update should fix it.
