Lost the amazing default all-dark grey theme and can't get it back

Post by WastedLook »

Hi there,

I am a brand new Linux Mint user and photographer.

I successfully loaded the software and was in the process of customising everything to my liking when I made the mistake of clicking on View>Theme and suddenly lost the beautiful all-dark grey, flat theme - which was how It came when I set it up.

However, clicking on "default" theme is not that, and the preset themes look slightly unfinished and a bit ugly IMO.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it just reverts back

Any tips on how to get the very flattest, 75%-ish grey look, for pretty much the whole window, would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
cday

For a clean installation, you might need to delete the .ini file before reinstalling, the location can be found in Tools > Settings > Integration -- Paths tab.

You might first try deleting the .ini and restarting, to see if that recreates the initial theme.

Incredible, it worked.

Thank you for the quick answer!

No need to re-install even - much appreciated.
