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.
It was indeed something like that. This Scooby-Doo mystery was a separate knob in the "Panel" section of Settings. There, under the "Appearance" tab there was a "Dark mode" knob. It was enabled by default, in a new F35 install. There was absolutely no way to know it's there unless you go and look for it.
And it was, apparently, effective for some, but not all themes. For Adwaita it fiddled its appearance. For other themes it did not. And there was a separate, discrete, "Adwaita-dark" theme that did its own thing.
Clear as mud.
