[solved] GTK2 Window-Menu-Font, Highlight-background and Icons changed

Hello,

in TDE i changed (via Q4OS Look Switcher) the theme from Wine_Classic to Slide and later back to Wine_Classic again.
After restoring the configurations of Appearance/Themes: Colors (Redmont 2000), Style (Q4OS T01 Style) and Window Decoration (Redmont) back to my prefences (via Control panel) there have now changed some things:
- The Menu font is smaller,
- as well as the icons in the Menu,
- and a selected Menu-entry ("Tools" in the screenshot) is not highlited properly by changing it's background to dark.

It seems, that the font scaling/smoothing is missing, and the highlite-adjustment of the menu-entries ,forgotten'.

I've added a second screenshot (_B: of the backup disk) for comparison.
GTK3 Apps are not affected.

Any idea what happened here, what's missing?
Thanks in advance!

You can setup scaling in the control panel > system administration > screen scaling.

If you switch to the Wine_classic theme using LookSwitcher, the font colors should be set accordingly. Does it do so ?

Thank you - and sorry i can't answer:
i just now could resolve the issue by copying the ~/.gtkrc-q4os from the backup disk!
