After update to version v5.1.202601 scid is unusable fonts are tiny and so grey they are unreadable. I tries several fonts and every one is very faint grey please advise I am using xubuntu 24.04

Really impressed. I was still under the impression previously that scid vs pc was the better alternative. This clearly not the case now. I think this software is beautifully put together and I love how you can stack the windows on the side which en-croissant doesn't manage.
