> [@sradjoker](#): > > I’m unable do this in cinnamon. Can you please help? I don’t use Cinnamon very often so I am not sure how to it there. That being said, it is a Qt application so if you are using something like qt5ct you would need to get those settings into root’s environment and config directory. For the environment issue, you could try setting that var in `/etc/environment` and then copy the other settings into root’s config. ---

> [@HMS\_Endeavour](#): > > I don’t have a gitlab either 🤣 but can we please have dark mode? The application supports theming. Look at my screenshots in the first post. They are all using breeze dark. The issue is it is running as root so it uses the theming for root. You need to properly set the theming for the root account. How you do that varies for each DE. ---

What DE do you use? This worked on MATE. You need to set qt5ct settings for root first. and then run this as root ```auto btrfs-assistant --platformtheme qt5ct ``` ---

You are using `qt5ct`. Set a root `qt5ct` theme first. Then you can either figure out how to set the environment appropriately or try what @sradjoker suggested above. ---

Btrfs Assistant 1.3 is now available for testing in `btrfs-assistant-git` The two biggest features are the ability to see subvolume size data on the subvolume tab and a new button that enables or disables quota support. ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/6/362d68702d4a7454ded85ca8ee754f15e90bb736.png) In order for the size information to show, you have two options: - Enable quota support on the Btrfs volume ~~\* Set `allow_temp_quota` to `true` in the config file~~ ~~The latter option enables quotas long enough to gather the information and then disables them again. There is a risk that quotas stay enabled if something unexpected happens so the option is disabled by default.~~ ---

Not only is it working, but it’s working flawlessly. I put it through the hoops with every disaster scenario I can imagine and it just works. I like that there is no need to install Timeshift/autosnap. This is so much better. Thanks @dalto. ---
