I use qualc, the console versiomn of qualculate.

But you can install "xcalc" and use good old .Xresources to change fonts, colors etc. Or you can use a modified GTK theme and then tell the GTK application to use that theme, like: $ GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark bad-gnome-caculator Or you may want to only use a scaling factor for GTK: $ GTK2_DPI_SCALE=4 bad-gnome-caculator Have I mentioned the numerouse benefits of GNOME for satanists?
