Hi there,

I have worked with a very old distribution for a long time an now decided to setup a new computer with ubuntu 16 LTS and Plasma. Computer has an NVidia 750 ti and I installed the package nvidia-375.

Now I wonder, whether the appearance of the desktop is correct. I found 2 things:
- The menus of the windows appear very pale/white to me.
- In the screenshot you can see an emacs window. With the left mousekey I marked the area beginning from "# KNOWHOW" down to "use GetOpt::Std", but as you can see, nothing is highlighted. I am used to get a grey background, when I do this.

So I wonder now, whether I missed some setting or whether something went wrong with the installation.

Any help is appreaciated...

I have the same problem with gedit. You can check the clipboard manager application to see if it using middle mouse button. You can also try to disable plugins. Then there's this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...wont-highlight

I think the "paleness" has to do with the color scheme. You can change it in the System Settings app. (It must be somewhere in your menu; if you can't find it, execute "systemsettings5").

The default colors in plasma for borders/windows frame, icons, etc., are generally washed out, i.e., pale.

Thank you for the link. There is a hint how to look up the different colorsettings within emacs. Highlighted text was set to a white background. Changed it and now it is perfect

Found it and changed it. Looks much better now Thank you!
