@gerroon I can't reproduce this on Arch Linux and on Ubuntu using the AppImage. Unfortunately I can't test the .deb since my architecture (arm64) won't let me install nor build it.

Can you start the Debian build using your terminal and if so do you see any errors popping up?

Also if you switch to dark or light theme, does this change the colorTheme value in your your config file?

[ransome1]

Also, if you're using the .deb release, does sleek has an app icon in your app bar / dock?

[gerroon]

The colortheme in the config below is set to dark it still opens the light theme. The app has a tray icon on Cinnamon bar.

Perhaps somewhat related: the button View -> Toggle theme doesn't work at first (neither does the associated shortcut Alt+Ctrl+D).

However, if I go to settings and change the theme from there, both the button and shortcut start working to toggle the theme as expected (until sleek is closed).

(Version is: 2.0.0.dev17)

(until sleek is closed). I have the same experience.

Are you on Linux (Cinnamon?) as well?

[ransome1]

@gerroon @Bleskocvok also, can you provide me with some feedback, if you're also affected by this on Cinnamon? https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/issues/550

[Bleskocvok]

Are you on Linux (Cinnamon?) as well?

I am on Xubuntu (using XFCE as my desktop environment).

Ad https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/issues/550: I used to be affected, but yesterday's 2.0.0-dev19 fixed the icon for me.

The issue with dark theme not being remembered and the Toggle theme button issue still persist in 2.0.0-dev19. Both using .AppImage and .deb installation methods yield the same behaviour for me.

(I also tried sleek 2.0.0-dev19 on Windows 10 and the dark theme works perfectly fine there, if that's helpful.)

If I run sleek from the command line, it outputs similar errors to what @gerroon sent above:

I think I have just been able to reproduce this. Thanks for reporting it.

A fix will be part of the next release.
