Hi
I use this dark theme in Ubuntu 18.04.
I have problems with the color of text and menu in VMware Horizon Client.
I install the last version: 5.3.0.
Also, I have problems with HiDPI scaling in 4k monitors. everything is tiny and small.
I have this problem with anydesk, but they support not respond to my mails.
Same issue here with Ubuntu 20.04 and the built in Adwaita-dark theme.
Same issue with Pop OS 20.10 (Ubuntu)
Hello,
I have the same issue with dark theme on Ubuntu 20.04 and have a work around for the issue which allows you to force a light theme for the horizon client. I would prefer dark mode to be supported but this will do for now.
Close vmware horizon client.
In terminal navigate to this directory:
cd /usr/share/applications
Once in there
sudo nano vmware-view.desktop
On line 4 it should have something like:
Exec=vmware-view %u
Change it to:
Exec=env GTK_THEME=Yaru-light vmware-view %u
save file.
Restart app and now you should be able to view everything properly.
If you don't have Yaru-light as a theme you may need to change it to what ever your OS light theme is named.
I hope this helps some people.
EDIT:
System versions
Horizon Client version: 2106.1 / build: 8.3.1
Ubuntu 20.04 Linux 5.11.0-36-generic
GTK+ version: 3.24.20
Glib: 2.64.6
Thx, this worked great for PopOS too.
Just changed the theme to Pop 🙂
