Beginner Talk / Re: tool bar
Last post by Lynn - January 28, 2026, 02:30:15 AM
Oh! I just remembered seeing this post on Reddit - apparently it's possible for the icons of the toolbar to blend in with the background on Mac.

If you're having that problem, try going into Preferences > User Interface > Theme and changing the icon set.

Can you see the main menu (File, Edit, Help)? If you right click in the space next to the main menu, that should open up the context menu for toolbars which controls which ones are visible. There's a little checkbox for each of the possible toolbars - tools and view are the ones I always keep open!

Scribus should remember which toolbars you've opened and keep them between sessions.

I have a little reference document I've been pecking away at for Scribus 1.6 which has screenshots of the various menus. It's not complete & focused on the home-bookbinding user, but it might help - Getting Oriented in Scribus

Fascinating. Thanks utnik - sure enough, I can't see an email listed for your posts/account. It must only display for the user.

As far as I know there is no way to donate money to the Scribus project.

Reasons are that first of all there are not a lot of use for any donated money, apart from server hosting.

Second, the money needs to go somewhere, and if a privat person gets them there are tax issues. And there is no organisation (like corporation or non-profit organisation) behind Scribus.

Beginner Talk / tool bar
Last post by Olga R - January 27, 2026, 08:24:40 PM
Hello, I have just installed Scribus. I have a Mac using Tahoe. I was used to InDesign but with my new computer I would have to buy expensive subscriptions.
I looked up some tutorials but they always have the tool bar. I don't see mine! I looked up everywhere and can't find it.
Thanks for your help!

It may be that it's just a quirk of how your own user profile displays to you? But when I look at my own posts, they all have a "email" icon next to the "personal message" icon. When I hover over it, it shows my email address. And then if I look at my own user profile, that also lists my email address in plain text.

Looks like I'd have to find a image hosting site to share a screenshot of what things look like on my end. But if the email isn't showing up for anyone else, then it's no problem. Just a bit confusing to the user (why would I need to email myself?)

As far I can tell, users should not be able to see other users email addresses...

Do you have any evidence of that not being true?

Scribus forums / Forum settings - hide email
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:38:31 PM
I am sure there is a setting on this forum's user profile to not display your personal email address to everyone who opens the profile. However, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? I could not find it under Account Details, Forum Profile or Alerts.

Announcements and Forum Rules / Re: Scribus 1.7.2 released
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:25:08 PM
Thank you!

This might be a stupid question, but the wiki pages for these releases all point to the issue tracker website to see the changelog. In this case, the wiki points to https://bugs.scribus.net/changelog_page.php?version_id=131 When I try to open these pages they always say "No Change Log information available".

Do I need to make an account to be able to see the change log, or is it getting accidentally hidden?
