Mozilla.org builds recent | versions using GTK3. Some distros still build some versions using GTK2. | The two toolkits depend on different theming. 54.0 (64-bit) from Canonical. It actually gets pretty awful -- for instance, the search box drops its little menu and that one is *transparent* with white text, making it unreadable. Additionally, several applications have reversed text and everything else is black background -- Settings > Additional Drivers from the main menu is one; particularly bad for me is that GThumb, which has no useful Trinity alternative, is also black with white text, which makes photo editing (my job) really difficult. | I've run into reversed UI colors several times before, but always forget | exactly how to fix it by the next time it happens. I only remember | messing with GTK app theming to solve it. Where and how might I do that? Is there a GTK control center app equivalent to KControl?
