etsviewer on Ubuntu 19.10

I'm trying to use etsviewer on Ubuntu but the GUI looks corrupted under the "Test View/Study View" tabs.
I've attached a screenshot of the problem.
Using Oracle JDK v1.8
Something from the log that could be useful:
L&F In Use : [GTK look and feel - com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel]

Hi,
We have applied a fix to the latest version 4.6. Please download it from
https://enthuware.com/etsviewer/etsviewer.jar
We have tested it on Ubuntu with jdk 11 and 15 (not with 8) but it should work on jdk 8 as well.
thank you,
Paul.

Thank you for the update. It does look improved but not 100% yet. I'll try with JDK 11 before giving you a detailed response.

I eventually traced the problem to a "dark-theme". Switching to the default "light-theme" seems to resolve the GUI problems. I think I should rather purchase the web version because I prefer dark mode.

OK, I see the problem. We will work on fixing the issue with dark mode.
thanks for providing the details.

Hmm, I'm not getting the .desktop shortcut to work, even without the theme settings you referred to. This is what it looks like:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Enthuware
GenericName=Java practice tests
Exec=java -jar /absolute/path/to/dir/etsviewer.jar
Path=/absolute/path/to/dir
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Education;
I tried it with and without the Path option

Just to make sure, you have changed this path ,/absolute/path/to/dir/etsviewer.jar , right?
Code: Select all
Exec=java -jar /absolute/path/to/dir/etsviewer.jar
Path=/absolute/path/to/dir

Yes, the actual path is:
