I also got some other dark themes, so now I can do a little juggling to see what is the best combination. Like yourself, though ... I'm not quite sure just how it happened. I will try to retrace my steps for myself and the possible benefit of others. * I was messing with lxappearance and qt5ct. Here, under the tab for Appearance, I set Style as gtk2, and also Standard dialogs for GTK2. (That's how it appears on screen.) * Also I unchecked "use TDE colors" in TCC / Appearance & Themes / Colors (but this turned everything to XFCE or some other defaults, i.e., white background and black text, and stopped using my cursor theme. Then I rechecked that box, "use TDE colors": I don't have a clue if that's significant at all. * I changed the theme to Adwaita (somewhere or other); but now I can't find where I did it. Also I don't know if this means anything. There were a couple other variants (but *all* of them were dark themes) that I went through, but this is what I am stuck on at the moment, because, you know, YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!!! My eyes will last to see for another few days, maybe more. Thanks everybody! (I'm not sure what anybody actually *did*, but somehow I got it to happen.) Bill
