Strange interface of AIJ on Fedora 39

[wqso]

The interface of AIJ changed as shown in the attached image on Fedora 39. What's the problem?

Which version of AIJ are you running?

I'm running 5.2.1.04.

Could you let us know a bit more on how the problem occurred? Were you running an earlier version of Fedora and then updated to 39 and then the AIJ interface coloring changed, or is this your first use of AIJ under Fedora? Or, did a previous version of AIJ work fine with Fedora 39, and then an AIJ update broke the interface coloring?

I'm running an earlier version of Fedora and then updated to 39 and then the AIJ interface coloring changed. Thank you.

We have to get Fedora 39 set up in a virtual machine to try to duplicate the problem, but hopefully we'll have a fix soon.

Actually, another question: Which type display adapter are you using? If you are using AMD, I have seen reports for other Fedora 39 display problems that setting "amdgpu.sg_display=0" fixes the display issues. I'm not a linux user, so I'm not sure exactly where to do that, but try that approach and let us know if it resolves the issue.

I'm using an Inter display adapter.

If you haven't already, could you check to see if Intel has a driver update available that might solved the problem?

[wqso]

My Fedora system is updated.

If you roll back AIJ to version 5.2.0 or 5.1.0, does the display problem go away (when running Fedora 39)? You can use the update facility at AIJ_Toolbar > Help > Update AstroImageJ to do the roll backs, and then return to the daily build when you are ready.

The problem remains after rolling back to 5.2.0 and 5.1.0.

I see this note on an ImageJ post "Fedora 39 using “GNOME on Xorg” shows the correct toolbar." I'm not a routine linux user. Are you using something different than “GNOME on Xorg”? If so, is it possible for you to try this combination to see if it fixes AstroImageJ also?

Thank you very much for your reply. I do use a Wayland environment on F39. The change from Wayland to Xorg may resolve this problem. But I used a Wayland environment in F38 and the AIJ icons had the right colors.

It's not a big problem and I can use AIJ as usual. Thank you for your time and efforts for developing such a wonderful tool for photometry.
