Sys-info System Information

The button to run Pupsysinfo is grayed out.
When mouse pointer is over button it says go to help to install program.
OK
After install of program Pupsysinfo the button icon is missing.
Several icons also missing on help window.
See picture.
Somehow the icons at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ were left out of Barry's Pet.

Please install the latest version, currently sys-info-1.4.1-noarch.pet. That will fix the missing icons.

radky's PupControl or PupSysInfo is suggested but not required. Installing either one will enable the PupSysInfo button.

I'm sorry, I cannot reproduce this. Whichever way I highlight a block of text, it is all highlighted. And it stays all highlighted, no matter how window focus changes.
I too have problems with highlighted text not being dark enough to see (except in a dark room). If I use Leafpad and highlight some lines of text the text stays black but the highlight background is a very pale (almost invisible) grey. If I then click onto another window I can see that the Leafpad text inverts to white, and the background highlight goes dark grey and is clearly visible. (of course it doesn't stay that way when I click back into Leafpad)

Possibly this effect of grey intensity varies from screen to screen and therefore does not present an issue for some people.

I am assuming that if I could change the specification for the "in focus background highlight" to a darker grey it would overcome the problem. Or maybe I need to change it so that highlighting INVERTS the colours, just as "out of focus background highlight" seems to do. Does anyone know where the exact colour/intensity is specified? (I'm guessing it's not a ROX setting as that wouldn't affect text colour within Leafpad would it?)

Changing to a different jwm theme does not seem to cure the issue for me.

hot dog!
Sorry, my mistake. I was changing the jwm theme, and you meant the gtk theme. Changing gtk theme to "gradient grey" cures my highlight problem.

EDIT:It seems that my gtk theme had previously been set to "stark blueish" which causes the pale highlighting.
