Cannot figure out how to make editor colors like those seen in video

[ke...@ansberry.com]

Hi,

I was hoping I could easily switch the Toolbox to a light theme, like that seen on the video. I have tried all three themes provided with 1.6 release on Linux, but they all appear similar, which is "dark". 

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I am not sure if this is your problem, but here's the solution I found:

Never mind. Determined that the Toolbox simply pulls the color scheme used by Gnome. When I selected a "light" scheme, the Toolbox modules are now readable.

For anyone else that has an issue reading text within the TLA editor due to a "dark" Gnome theme in Ubuntu, I found out that you can keep Gnome using the "dark" theme you have chosen and simply launch the Toolbox with the following command:

GTK_THEME=Adwaita:light ./toolbox

With this in mind, I create a "tla" alias in bash, by editing the .bashrc file, by entering the following line:

alias tla='GTK_THEME=Adwaita:light ~/TLA+/toolbox/toolbox'

Now when I open a terminal window, I can simply issue a "tla" command and it starts with a "light" scheme that is easy to read.
