Hi. At 2 / 2 / 2017 I received upgrade for my Fedora 24 X64 Cinnamon edition. This update involve Cinnamon & new default themes: Arc, Arc-solid, Arc-dark, Arc-dark-solid. Let me explaining: - before this update I was already activated dark theme mode, - but since I installed Cinnamon edition of Fedora many months ago, I noticed that dark theme mode in it NOT EFFECTIVELY WORKING as oposite to it in GNOME edition of Fedora. - at 2 / 2 / 2017 I received this new update, & after restart PC I saw dark theme mode really working: it effect really all aspect of screen & windows as in GNOME Fedora. - however, I try to disable dark theme mode, but it remain sticky !! - I restart PC & it is still sticky till now !! I think that they fix something but break other thing ! Any one can help please ?
Have you tried to disable dark-theme-mode (you need to restart your applications for it to take effect) and after that selected a non-dark theming?
Hi. Yes I did. And I repeated my trail after you ask me. When I select non-dark theme, only appear white (non dark) what appear when I click over menu, calender, wifi, ...... in panel of DE. BUT IT OTHERWISE DARK !! I mean by that: - when I open firefox dark mode still sticky ! - when I open GNOME software it also appear with dark theme mode ! - when click over "File" in panel, then appear my home as dark mode ! & when - I click on any folder to open it, then dark mode is still sticky ! - Any other application I open, appear with dark mode sticky ! White (non dark) only appear when I click on icons in panel. I try all default themes (old & new). Best.
Do you have "Use a dark theme-variant?" activated in Themes -> Settings? Did you change the theming for windows-decoration and general appearance, too? I tried to change the theming several times on a fresh install and cannot reproduce…
I try all default available themes one by one: - Cinnamon - Arc - Arc-solid - Arc-dark - Arc-dark-solid - Menta - Blue-menta - Green-submarine - Blue-submarine - Black-mate I try them all (after deactivate "dark theme mode" from system setting. I restarted applications after each change but fail ! And after each failure I restart PC but it failed also. After failure by restart PC, I try other theme by same steps & all failed ! There are errors in update. Please look for this post (other complain from errors after update): http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1781168#post1781168
(In reply to yousifjkadom from comment #4) > There are errors in update. There are no errors, just the default-theme changed. Asking the second time: Did you change the theming for windows-decoration and general appearance, too? (Those are separate setting besides the theme used for Cinnamon)
Try setting the 'Controls' theme to 'Arc' or 'Blue-menta'
Hi. Why you closed this bug called it not a bug ! At least wait my replay. 1) to Bjorn "besser82" Esser: Sorry I forget to mention this point: NO ! I did not change the theming for windows-decoration. Please see screenshot no.2 2) to leight scott: I did what you command me: - 1st I go to system setting, then click theme, then disable dark theme mode - 2nd I restart PC - 3rd I go to system setting, then click theme, then select 'Arc' - 4th I restart PC After that I take following screenshoots (from 1 to 8). Please, please notice that all these screen shot taken after finishing all 4 steps just I discribed above. Please look for dark areas ! Is this normal or they should - as I understand by disable dark theme mode - appear white ?

I believe Arc-Dark overrides that setting

I try Arc-Dark & not work !! I try it before you ask me. Though I try it again ! Does this could be related to hardware ? My system is Lenovo ThinkPad e550. Does this could be due to effect of certain package installed on my system by me & conflict in certain way with themes ?
(In reply to yousifjkadom from comment #7) > Why you closed this bug called it not a bug ! Because it's not a bug. Set "Window boarders", "Controls" and "Desktop" to "Arc" (NOT Arc-Dark!!!) and reboot. All is fine then; look at Leigh's screenshot. It's not caused by hardware, nor by any package installed on your system, neither a bug in Cinnamon or the cinnamon-package.
Hi. Yes you are correct ! I understand now. I change windows decoration & noticed that it is not a bug. If I chose Arc or Adwaita, then deactivation of dark theme mode is working. But if I select Arc-Dark for windows decoration, then deactivation of dark theme mode will not work. Sorry for this, but it is my mistake alone. What happened is that I did not alter windows decoration before. I just changed theme (from theme to other theme). When I received this update, it led to change windows decoration to Arc-Dark without my intention & because I did not touch windows decoration, then I confused ! Sorry again. I take from your time. However, I got from this knowledge about hidden power in my great DE (Cinnamon). Thank you for being patient with me.
Never mind! I'm glad we could sort that out. =)
Hello, Great help by Bjorn. Mine issue was: Editor, Termainal, FileZilla and other software background had gone dark grey and it was difficult to use it. Changing to ARC worked. But my terminal is still in dark background and when i use vi to see code etc its not readable. Initially i had terminal also in white background, how can i change terminal background to white? I am using Fedora 25 with Cinnamon them. Thanks.
