[22:47] m4t: Try running xsettingsd in a terminal and then hit ctrl+C. That might get things sorted. [22:48] mmikowski: thanks. permanently or until the app is restarted/bugs out again? [22:48] https://kfocus.org/wf/displays.html#bkm_scale_displays [22:48] 'which xsettingsd' shows it's not installed [22:48] Are you running Wayland or X11? [22:48] X11 [22:49] using amdgpu driver, MATE desktop, picom compositor [22:49] well, then you probably want that :) [22:49] ooooh... :P [22:49] yeah i didn't have it installed on 22.04 before reinstalling for 23.04 either (just checked a snapshot of the old install) [22:49] On KDE Plasma at least, doing that gets the GTK syncing to QT all sorted. [22:50] Well, usually. [22:50] And the settings stay after relog. [22:50] MATE adds /etc/profile.d/mate-qt.sh which sets 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2' [22:50] it works...until it randomly during runtime "resets" and starts showing white elements where it should be grey [22:50] So don't know if that will work with MATE. [22:50] like it forgets the theme [22:51] Yeah, again similar in plasma, although usually the problem is scaling. [22:51] But I have seen both. [22:52] kind of related question, i do have qt5-gtk-platformtheme installed as well (provides /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platformthemes/libqgtk3.so) but i don't see any way to actually use it [22:53] "xsettingsd is a daemon that implements the XSETTINGS specification...It can serve as an alternative to gnome-settings-daemon...for users who are not using the GNOME desktop [but want GTK configs]" [22:53] ah i see, thanks for clarifying [22:53] that's from apt-cache show xsettingsd [22:53] yeah mate has its fork of gsd called mate-settings-daemon: matt 392435 2014 0 Jul12 ? 00:00:08 /usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon [22:54] Yeah, I was thinking there had to be something like that. [22:54] maybe just run that once in the terminal instead? [22:54] ** (mate-settings-daemon:795655): WARNING **: 18:54:23.407: Failed to acquire org.mate.SettingsDaemon [22:54] already running [22:54] Yeah, ... right [22:55] maybe restart it? sudo systemctl restart mate-settings-daemon ? [22:55] or something like that. [22:56] hmm, keepassxc we had to config to avoid weird artifacts. [22:59] KeePassXC > View > Theme [22:59] well I [22:59] 'm sorry I couldn't help more, but gotta run for now [22:59] Hope that helps [22:59] at least a bit. [23:02] thanks [23:02] yeah with keepassxc i'm using the Classic (Platform-native) theme
