Archcraft xfce blank screen after change appearance

I was clicking through all the different 'appearance' options in Archcraft and lo and behold when I clicked one called Juno-something-or-other, the whole screen went blank. I think it crashed xfce, or the WM?

I tried ctrl+alt+F3 to bring up the fullscreen terminal but nothing happens, no command seems to work.

All I need to do is change that damn theme b/c it's crashing xfce I think.

I tried the advanced options for Archcraft login, but still goes blank.

The login still shows however, and I can access terminal there. Perhaps I can set the appearance manually from there?

Help appreciated!

Cheers,

yud

Re: Archcraft xfce blank screen after change appearance

It was high contrast that did it, beware!
I fixed the problem by using this command in the tty to manually change the theme

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s

cheers!
