GUI is partly unreadable with GTK dark theme

[matthijskooijman]

On my machine (Linux/Debian/Stretch), the interface is partly unreadable, colors are messed up. It seems the background color is the standard grey, while the foreground color is changed to be light grey or white.

Above is shown when the dialog is not focused, when it gets the focus the text turns even lighter. Using strace I found out this is due to my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file, which contains:

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1

Setting this to 0 fixes the GUI.

Again, not sure if this is something Flashtool should fix (it's probably an eclipse problem), but I wanted to document it here anyway.

Instead of changing the config file, setting an environment variable also works:

 GTK_THEME=Adwaita:light ./FlashTool
