Linux color scheme

Is there a way to change the app's color scheme on Linux? My mom always told me not to look in to the sun ;-)

Also, did I just forget that there was a Linux version or is that relatively new?

I just realized I skipped over it because the option is disabled. It says "Themes are not supported in the Lazarus release". Is there any other release for Linux?

Yea your mom has definitely a point here! ;)

The Linux releases started with a preview phase one year ago, and now we have a quite stable and feature rich v12.15. I'm happy to provide a more European software approach now, binaries which don't involve Microsoft. Especially wrt the current American administration.

Regarding your dark colors issue - the Linux releases should work out of the box with a dark system color mode. But there are some issues with the GTK2 and QT5 version - you may try the QT6 build to see if that fixes it.

Here's a fresh GTK2 screenshot, watch out for the unusual black column headers which have text painting issues when resizing. Apart from that GTK2 seems ok to me:

I admit apart from that I cannot be of much help here, as I'm still new to most Linux distributions, window managers and that stuff.
