Its appearance matches the first one.Why is a new F35 install's Adwaita theme different? It looks downright ugly. On the other two laptops the Adwaita theme is light-colored, and is very similar in its brightness to the High Contrast theme. There's only minor differences, flipping between the two. But on the odd duck the Adwaita theme is basically the negative of the other two.I suppose the obvious first question is does "rpm -qa | grep adwaita" produce the same results on both systems?
Yup, both the F35 XFCE Live install, and the updated laptops, show the same: $ rpm -qa | grep adwaita adwaita-cursor-theme-41.0-1.fc35.noarch adwaita-icon-theme-41.0-1.fc35.noarch adwaita-gtk2-theme-3.28-13.fc35.x86_64The themes do, overall, have other issues. All of my F35 seats have a bunch of themes labeled "Xfce-something". Actually about thirty or so "xfce" themes. All of them seem to be a no-go. Switching to any of them makes parts of the xfce panel mostly disappear or have an indiscernible color scheme. And all the "xfce" themes makes scroll-bars disappear. I am not talking the annoying auto-minimization of scroll-bars that some UI "expert" invented, a few years ago. They're completely gone. There's no way to scroll the list widgets! If you manage to scroll the list of themes, in the "Appearance" dialog so that only the xfce ones are shown, click on one of them, the only way to restore sanity is to hit pg-up a few times until the first theme (Adwaita, incidentally) gets restored. Then you get the original "peek-a- boo!" GTK scrollbars restored.
But I'm mostly wondering how Adwaita gives a negative color scheme on a new F35 install. Maybe there's a "dark theme" global setting somewhere that Adwaita is using. I dimly recall that dark themes were all the rage recently. But there's also an Adwaita-dark theme too, which allowed me to create this handy-dandy matrix:
Laptop A: Adwaita: dark panel, light window frame color. Adwaita-dark: dark panel, dark window frame color. Laptop B: Adwaita: light panel, light window frame color. Adwaita-dark: dark panel, dark window frame color.
