How to fix bash syntax error while setting up Solarized themes for WSLtty?
br flag

I am trying set up the Solarized themes for the WSLtty terminal, so I followed this 2 step guide.

I did not want to install fish, so I only concentrated on the first 2 steps.

But when I ran:

eval (dircolors -c ~/.dir_colors | sed 's/>&\/dev\/null$//')

it is giving me this error:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `dircolors'

How can I change rubberband colour on Desktop?

(Sorry for any bad English)

Lately, I have been customizing my system (Ubuntu 21.10 themed with Yaru Dark and Zsh as shell with powerlevel10k theme). I set it all up, including a cool colour palette. Here is my problem: when I left click on the Desktop and drag, the rubberband generated appears orange, the default colour, which broke the aesthetics of the palette I choose.

Removing Firefox MATE screen from Ubuntu MATE

Weird right alignment/flipping issue with some applications in Kubuntu 20.04
ru flag

The issue I am facing is that some apps (I suspect GTK apps) are right aligned.

The issue with gimp (snap package):

Gimp menus are right aligned, and the position of toolboxes seem like mirrors of the way vanilla gimp works.

Flatseal: Flatseal's menu has gone to the right side.

Then there's the issue with cursors in dialogboxes that start from the right-side by default:

Latte Dock. As you can see, the placeholder is gone to the right of the text box.

I have been using kavantum-dark theme in Lubuntu-20.04.3

Most of the apps run fine. But there are few in which the tool bars and writing in the app are unreadable. But this does not happen in other theme.

Names of gnome-shell power-off/restart/logout dialogs

In the latest versions of gnome-shell the power-off/restart dialog has been split into separate dialogs (compare Ubuntu 20.04 with 21.10). Along with the log-out dialog they are all themed by the entries for end-session-dialog in gnome-shell.css. Do the individual dialogs have names so that they can be themed independently, e.g. the last-child could have a different background color in each?

How do I reveal hidden/obscured text in VMware Horizon Client?
cn flag

Description

When I open certain menus in VMware Horizon, the text is hidden. It seems to me as if the text is falling into the white background due to my system using the Breeze Dark theme rather than light.

Horizon in Breeze (Light) Theme:

horizon in Breeze theme

horizon preferences menu in Breeze theme

Horizon in Breeze Dark theme:

horizon in Breeze Dark theme

horizon preferences menu in Breeze Dark theme

One way to fix this may be to force Horizon to use light mode, but I am unsure how to do this.
