My apologies if the answer is out there somewhere, but I couldn’t find it.
My sister found a computer by the dumpster so I fixed it up and installed Kubuntu on it. Turns out that KDE/Plasma is a bit much for that computer so I thought I’d try installing Ubuntu Mate on it.
I installed ubuntu-mate-desktop and ubuntu-mate-core (or something like that; I’m on openSUSE Tumbleweed on my own pc) and after logging in the theme seems off. The biggest issue is that text in things like the menu and on the task bar buttons are extremely hard to read. If the task bar is a dark color, the text is also dark. Same with the light themes and light text. I remember seeing something like mate dark and mate light in the themes section. And there were a bunch of others with question marks in the theme image. I didn’t get a chance to grab a screenshot because it was getting late.
I’ll mess with it tomorrow if I get a chance, but I’d like to tackle it with a battle plan. Does anyone have a way to quickly get mate looking like it would on the live cd?
One last note, I also tried different layouts like redmond and cupertino. Didn’t sort out the problem for me.
Thanks in advance for any advice and help!
