problem running dark theme in featherpad/firewarden

[Rosika2]

Hi all, :wave:

Info:

my system: Linux Lite 6.2

here´s the scenario:

In thunar file-manager I created a user-defined command which looks like this:

lxterminal --command="/media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/Ergänzungen_zu_Programmen/zu_firewarden_focal/firewarden_strict_dark_theme %f"

My aim is to display any text file by using featherpad the secure way with firewarden. The problem is: it doesn´t respect darkColorScheme settings. It keeps displaying the text black-on-white, even if I change the respective settings in fp.conf.

So I tried to fiddle around a bit.

To this end I created the folder:

mkdir -p ~/.config/featherpad_dark/featherpad

cp ~/.config/featherpad/fp.conf ~/.config/featherpad_dark/featherpad/fp.conf

I changed darkColorScheme=false to darkColorScheme=true in the new config.

I also changed firewarden_strict_dark_theme (which once was an exact copy of the firewarden script thus:

XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/home/rosika/.config/featherpad_dark/featherpad/"

# Log 
echo "XDG_CONFIG_HOME: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME" >> /tmp/firewarden_log.txt
echo "QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE: $QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE" >> /tmp/firewarden_log.txt

execute() {
    export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/home/rosika/.config/featherpad_dark"
    export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="Fusion"
    /usr/bin/firejail --disable-mnt --private-srv=firewarden-"$now" --private-opt=firewarden-"$now" $quiet $homeopt $netopt $devopt featherpad "${appopt[@]}" "${finalargs[@]}" >> /tmp/firewarden_log.txt 2>&1
}

... and also tried some more fiddling.

Nothing worked however. :disappointed:

Dark theme settings keep being ignored.

Can anybody help me finding another way of getting featherpad to use darkColorScheme=true together with firewarden :question:

Many thanks in advance and many greetings from Rosika :slightly_smiling_face:
