To view the current GTK3 theme in use on the XFCE desktop environment that is pre-installed in distributions like Linux Mint or Xubuntu, open a terminal window and enter the following comment:
$ gtk-query-settings theme <enter>
Upon enter, it displays the following:
gtk-theme-name: "Mint-Y-Dark-Orange"
gtk-icon-theme-name: "Mint-Y-Dark-Orange"
! gtk-fallback-icon-theme: NULL
gtk-key-theme-name: NULL
gtk-cursor-theme-name: "Bibata-Modern-Ice"
gtk-cursor-theme-size: 24
gtk-sound-theme-name: "LinuxMint"
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme: FALSE
On my desktop, the icons for some buttons in GnuCash were not visible and using above, I found that the theme style I had selected was Mint-Y-Dark-Orange
, but the icon-theme was Mint-Y-Orange
. After I corrected the icon-theme in Settings->Appearance-Icons
to Mint-Y-Dark-Orange
, the icons in GnuCash displayed correctly.
Additionally, to apply the dark theme on the desktop to GnuCash registers, in Gnucash, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Register -> Graphics
and uncheck the option Use GnuCash built-in color theme
. To re-enable the built-in color theme, recheck the box.
