The dark system theme I have set seems to make some applications look funny, with dark boxes where they should be light. Is there any way I can manually set a theme on a per-application basis?

    Partially implimented system theme. Comments: oP MuSt wAnT It tO LoOk lIkE MiCrOsOfT!

    The only one who so-far realized the theming is the problem suggested a quick fix that will likely leave this issue cropping up again in other applications.

    Me: down-votes comments because I WANT there to be a better answer, not because I know one. Happy Monday, people!

      I think that other person was answering in good faith. They were trying to help, they just misunderstood what was being asked.

        Thus, that last line in my comment. My frustration in this case is just sooo much more to do with the issue than with comments.

          I don’t see the point in downvoting someone when they misunderstood something and OP clarified, but perhaps i just don’t understand Lemmy.

          If anything maybe I’d upvote the reply for visibility.

          Anyway you seem nice, please don’t take my comments personally. I think the groupmind that gave you a ton of upvotes and that other person a ton of downvotes just rubbed me the wrong way.

            Where does this imply that I downvoted anything for the reasons you mentioned? There were maybe five or six comments prior to my own, and I downvoted all of them besides OPs(which I did upvote, tyvm - funny how that didn’t work out to you noticing).

            Less spammy than “trying to set the record straight” by correcting them all, nevermind that, as I stated, I don’t have a better solution anyways, but again, yes, I also up-voted the one-or-two comments that had anything to do with OPs problem, both clarifications by OP themselves.

            I’ve also up-voted other comments since, but there have been none talking about Ribbons and Tabs since, at least. Almost like what visibility my own comment got served its purpose.

            Things don’t have to be positive to work. Sometimes Loud Garbage can slow the buildup of even-more-useless-if-well-meaning garbage. Well-intentioned, useless, basically-un-true-in-context things only pass one of Socrates criteria, btw.
