Help Test Fedora Media Writer 5.0

We just learned that there’s an opportunity to have a brand new Fedora Media Writer 5.0 (with a completely redone UI, but using the same background code) together with the Fedora 36 release. The timing is tight, but we agreed that we’d like to give it a try. We’d like to gather test feedback today and tomorrow, so that we can decide whether it’s a good idea to make it public next week on Tuesday for F36 GA (assuming we’re GO today). If it doesn’t work well, we’ll ask Jan Grulich, the developer,…

I can’t remember where I read it, but they wrote it in Qt, not GTK, hence why it looks different. I think it might have had something to do with Qt being more ideal to run on various systems (e.g. Windows systems) to reach the broadest audience.

It did change appearance but I don’t see a problem with the changes.

Are you using a dark theme? If yes you can try to change it with the gnome-tweaks to legacy applications to the dark theme you like to use.
This would add you something like below to your .bashrc :

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME='gnome'
