Dark mode

ZabF · May 18, 2023

Hi,

I have chosen the dark mode for the display on my computer (linux ubuntu 20.04) but it seems to be poorly supported by Zotero : the tab titles are only visible if you click on them, otherwise it is black on black... My version of Zotero is 6.0.26 (the last one)

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for your quick reply and for the link to the discussion. I see there is some solutions, but I can't find where is located my zotero.desktop file. It is not in the
/usr/share/applications/ folder...

If you followed the installation instructions, it should be located in ~/.local/share/applications/.

I installed Zotero by using "Ubuntu Software" (via snap). I searched zotero.desktop by using the find command :
find . -name zotero.desktop and even
find / -name zotero.desktop : not found

o_O

The snap version is not maintained by zotero. So you probably will have to figure out by yourself where this file is located in your system.

Hi poettli,

Finally I found the file zotero.desktop (in /snap/zotero-snap/61), the location was hidden in a lot of answers (..."permission not granted") of the command find. I installed the pop GTK theme, so the problem is nearly solved, except that I cannot modified the zotero.desktop file. Indeed the file system is read-only accessible. But this is a linux problem (somehow too technical for me), not a zotero one ;-)...
