That seems to be the case:richmond62 wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 5:15 pmI suspect it is the simple fact that when one themes one's desktop
(err, is there a verb "to theme"? dubious) LiveCode does not jive
with it and alter the fontColor so it contrasts with whatever
colour the theme sets the background to.
I was correct, even back in 16.04, the livecode menu stays on livecodes menubar instead of going to the top bar in Gnome, despite every other applications menu being on the top bar.
No you don't, and nor do I! Far, far too abstruse and complicated.Oh I see...
Au contraire, mon ami. Colors (at least where governed by standard theming systems) are among the things LiveCode can support well, and with minimal cost.richmond62 wrote: ↑Sat May 05, 2018 9:57 amCertainly I believe it is unfair to lay the blame for LiveCode not "jiving" with
Linux window manager menu colours at LiveCode's doorstep.
See, I look at it this way. If your saying that your supported version of Linux is this particular distro, then you pretty much have said "I will take the blame if my red sofa doesn't match your curdled vomit paint on the wall".richmond62 wrote: ↑Sat May 05, 2018 9:57 amCertainly I believe it is unfair to lay the blame for LiveCode not "jiving" with

This is rather like blaming the fact that a sofa company's red sofas don't
go with the "curdled vomit" paint on the walls of my front room.
