nteract v 0.12.1 has black menu bar with no visible menu labels

[nicocarbone]

In the new version of nteract (v0.12.1) the menu bar is black and, apparently, so is the text menu. Menu text is then not visible. This was not happening in the previous version.

Also, don't know if related, the start-up animation is not longer displayed.

I attach screenshots of the problem

I am using Ubuntu 18.10 amd64. This happens in the .deb and in the AppImage.

Looks like this might be related to electron/electron#13381 (comment)

[nicocarbone]

Maybe... but I don't have the same problems in other electron apps.
That give an idea and changing the theme to Yaru-dark works (GTK_THEME=Yaru-dark nteract).

Likely they're still using Electron version 2 which used GTK 2

Atom seems to work, and I think it uses electro 3. Nevertheless, it seems to be, at least, related. Although the problem is the inverse, the menu is black even in a light theme while in the electron bug the problem seems to be that the menu is always white. Maybe the fix for that bug introduced the issue? El mié., 24 de oct. de 2018 a la(s) 15:24, Lukas Geiger ( notifications@github.com) escribió:

Also, nteract 0.11.9 worked fine. Did it use a different version of electron? El mié., 24 de oct. de 2018 a la(s) 15:29, Nicolás Abel Carbone ( nicocarbone@gmail.com) escribió:

Thanks for the report @nicocarbone. It appears that nteract 0.11.9 used electron 2.0.9. While, 0.12.1 uses electron 3.

That give an idea and changing the theme to Yaru-dark works (GTK_THEME=Yaru-dark nteract).

Just to clarify, does it display correctly with this setting?

Do you see any errors when you toggle on the Developer tools and view the Console?

[nicocarbone]

Yes, changing the theme to Yaru-dark solves the problem. The menu bar stays dark, but now the font is white. How do I enable developer tools? Executing nteract from the command line gives this: [22:09:13.944] [info] args { _: [], kernel: 'python3', k: 'python3', '$0': '/opt/nteract/nteract' } [22:09:14.057] [warn] APPIMAGE env is not defined, current application is not an AppImage [22:09:14.124] [info] launching an empty notebook by default El mié., 24 de oct. de 2018 a la(s) 21:20, Carol Willing ( notifications@github.com) escribió:
