Description Todd 2021-12-02 23:04:22 UTC

Fedora 35
virt-viewer-10.0-4.fc35.x86_64

As of Fedora 35, virt-viewer now defaults to a "dark" theme. This is a pain in the neck (not my exact word) as it makes so I can not tell the edges of my virt-viewer window and have actually shutdown my host a few times by accident.


This is my workaround:

bash -c "GTK_THEME=Adwaita:light remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5905"

In virt-viewer's decorations, there is a preferences option. Would you please add at least the following three theme choices:

Dark
Light
System

And yes, I know developers like dark themes as light attracts bugs, but the rest of us have to use it.

Many thanks,
-T

Please make the default "System"

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 35 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-12-13.

Fedora Linux 35 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
