What file format is the original picture (JPG, PNG, RAW...)? What applications are you using to view them?Color rendering is very subjective. Every video card is controlled by the operating system. The operating system can make the colors look warm or cold or desaturated or anything.

It's looks like there's some AUR packages that have what we want (as usual ). Try any of these that have "left_ptr" in the name. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0 … _Search=Go

Also, the "man archlinux" is really simple, really concise, and really helpful for fixing those little warnings.

What is the "/mnt/EFI/boot" command? What is it supposed to do?At which step are you at in the Beginner's Guide?

Yes, I noticed it. It seems to have appeared in Firefox 18.I never would have considered it something that I needed to fix.

Oh, I think I got it! It's because you start a PCManFM window before calling "dbus-launch".I'm not sure if it's possible to change that in your .xinitrc file. Alternatively, does xmonad have its own method of autostarting applications? (for example, with Openbox it's the script "~/.config/openbox/autostart") That should fix the problem.

I appreciate this thread. I, too, have been struggling to find a non-buggy dark theme over the past month.
