Yes maybe the problem is the theme of my window manager, but since I'm
new to the graphical part of linux didn't know if it's something I could
change in the program or not.
So I'll see what I can do with the window manager since discusing about
it here would be OT.
Changing the fonts helped a lot too, I noticed that they were very small
to read well.
Thank you.
