Having spent the last week or so trying SO many different themes,
changes to colours, fonts and even resorted to installing the NVIDIA
driver which I have never had to do, the problem still exists. (In fact
installing that driver has given me a truckload of other font issues,
so that has compounded things).

Thanks for that, in the comment at
https://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4105#c6
, - "Some themes are just broken. If you can find difference in
behavior between claws and other GTK applications that might be a bug
in claws. However, theme not working is most likely theme bug.", it
certainly points to a Theme bug.

I see the last comment there is a fix of sorts, the theme Gilouche, and
a confirmation that it doesn't appear to be a CM bug.

What themes are other Claws Mail users using for version 3.17.5 with
GTK+ 2.24.32 / GLib 2.64.3 please ?

On another aspect, yet related, are there any plants to have a 'QT'
version of Claws Mail ?

Cheers,

Peter
