Theme colors don't match systems dark theme (Cinnamon, Linux Mint 21.3)

[adrummer354]

Opening the application and the main application windows are light or white colored with a dark system theme

title bar. I had to reinstall my system via a TimeShift Restore but on my previous install the application everything matched system theme colors. It also matches system theme colors on my laptop (Same OS and theme). Mint 21.3 Cinnamon with Kernel 6.8.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the main repo (App store) on Mint were I originally installed it. Same result.

Tried restarting machine and restarting cinnamon. No change.

To help us diagnose the problem quickly, please provide the output of the console command backintime --diagnostics.

Hello drummer,

Thank you for taking the time to report the bug and providing the details. I appreciate your feedback.

Issues like this are often reported, not only with Back In Time. I don't understand the technical details, so I can not provide a solution.

I would suggest to ask the Cinnamon and Qt community about it; also Mint maybe. Please let us know the details if you find a solution. In this case I will add it to the FAQ or user manual.

If you have any more details to share, feel free to reach out.

Please see the projects background information to get an idea about our workflow and priorities:

• Maintenance status
• The team
• Strategy outline / Roadmap

Best regards,
Christian
