[SOLVED] How to see colored markings with Dark Theme?

Post by puddleglum »

When I upgraded to LM 20.1 Cinnamon, I decided to try to use the dark theme. One problem I have is being able to see colored markings like the auto spell check red underline in the editor. I can read the text but I don't see the red line makings. They are hidden by the dark theme.

How do other people solve this problem?

Clem pointed out to me that Xed is themed separately from the GTK theme using a GTKSourceView theme. I was able to bring up XedPreferences and select Theme. There are two existing themes in there (Kate & Solarized Light) that work fine with the dark theme. You can import other themes from:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSour ... yleSchemes

As for me I will choose one of the two existing themes. There is no need to import any others to see the red squiggle lines.
