Thank you guys for your amazing work and congrats on a new release! As I always say, Solus never disappoints!


Who says 32 bit is dead?
My Asus EeePC 1000 Netbook running SalentOS 32 bit and streaming the Solus 4.0 ISO torrents.

Really like new default theme Plata-Noir so far, but it causes dark text fields with dark text inside in firefox, and it could be fixed like stated here (I used "Adapta" as a value there): https://askubuntu.com/a/1053799
Another slight issue is that notifications are too sparse, as shown on this screenshot:

    FunkyloverOne Thanks for the feedback, I'm aware of the issue. Can you give me specific websites I can use to validate this against? I'd also like to know if the issue is resolved if you use Firefox's Preferences -> Extensions and Themes -> Themes section, choose Light, if that resolves the issue.

        JoshStrobl : 🙂 You have done a fabulous job with Solus 4.0.

        The theming is amazing (It is clean and modern-looking).

        And, the operating system is snappy.

        I have been using Solus MATE since Shannon and Fortitude is a joy to use.

        The entire Solus Team deserves a standing ovation!

          SuperJC710e Thanks! That's convenient, but that config modification works better, so I guess I will stick with that for now.

            JoshStrobl Sure, I've already tried to switch to Light theme to solve it, didn't help. I'm still using it though because with Default the tabs panel is too dark for me (with Plata-Noir), and you can see on my prev screenshot it's white.
            So far I know that you can easily reproduce an issue on https://app.asana.com, or easier, on any public Bitbucket repo in "Commits" section, like here: https://bitbucket.org/railstutorial/sample_app_4th_ed/commits/all
            There you can see that search input becomes black (it's not terrible there because text becomes white, but on Asana text is dark).

              You are the best, great job and thank's for your work! <3

              Very nice OS with Budgie Desktop, thanks for all the hard work. It took awhile to get around the different menus from what I have been used to in xfce Manjaro. Thanks to your forum I managed to install a different cursor by adding a folder to home /.icons and moving the Ecliz cursor folder to it. Then used System Settings to change it. I have been with @Ikey for a longtime, off and on. Looks like I found a new home.

              Congratz guys!! You make Solus really awesome. Just wondering one thing. I upgraded Solus but didn't get pre-installed "Plata-Theme" is this normal behaviour or is a bug? Ofc I installed it from the software centre, just wondering.

                Mjafko Yes, Solus won't screw up users defaults... would you be happy if we would change your theme, desktop background, icons, mouse pointers, fonts whenever a new ISO is released ?

                    Well, I tried them all, Budgie, Gnome and now I am using Mate. Actually I like Mate better. Still here!

                    Mjafko You can install it directly from the Software Center.

                      kyrios You are probably right. 🙂 Thank you was just wondering.

                      @Justin yh, I did that. Was just wondering why I didn't have it by default in my Theme options.

                        Well, as explained several times, the maintainers don't believe they should change your settings explicitly nor force software that you don't want on you. A stand with which I totally agree, though I can see the confusion factor.
                        If you did a fresh install, you would have gotten that theme. As you upgraded, you don't by default.

                        I'm going to be working with @kyrios on making a modification to our vendor prefs.js to hopefully enforce widget.content.gtk-theme-override as Adwaita:light. I've already validated that it works against Plata-Noir and Plata-Lumine, and it is the most optimal solution IMO compared to installing an add-on (which we can do, there are vendor paths for, but to summarize it in one word: "eh").

                        Would make the change myself but I don't exactly have my beefy desktop sitting next to me at the moment.

                        You can expect an out-of-band sync for firefox (as well as some package updates I'm getting in like Telegram 1.6.1 just so it removes the pesky update notification for people).
