What can I use in Linux for QB64 IDE's aspect?

[TempodiBasic]

Hi QB64 community
I'm absolutely beginner in Linux... also if it is a friendly Linux like Lubuntu (windows like interface)
some questions:
1. if I want change the aspect of QB64IDE I must use only Window SIze parameters in the Options... Display window or can I set a path of FONT?
  1.1 in this last case How can I find Font files in Linux/Lubuntu system? I must write the path by hand....
2. Can I write in config.txt file of QB64 to specify a set of colors for QB64IDE like in Windows?

3. Running a program with F5 I get the window of program and if I drag this last acrossing the desktop, passing over QB64IDE window, this last window is covered by fragments of the window moved.... this issue is performed also by others windows for examples Mozilla window, folder window, moreover if I give focus to QB64IDE it doesn't refresh itself and it doesn't refresh itself also if first I minimize it on the bar of applications and after I restore to original size and position.
I hope this can be useful as information. Maybe I must set something in my Lubuntu?!?
Thanks for reading

I use Linux Mint - which is based on Ubuntu - and I may be able to help with the "font" issue.

Your fonts are stored in two places. Your "system" fonts are located in /usr/share/fonts and your "local" or "home" fonts are located in your Home directory in the .fonts folder.

The .fonts folder is a "hidden" directory. I suppose the easiest way to "view" the folder would be... From your Desktop, double click your Home folder, then locate the "View" tab at the top of that window. You should see the option to "Show hidden files". Once chosen you should now be able to scroll down through your "Home" folders. All the hidden, or "dot" folders, will be displayed below your "normal" folders. I hope this helps.

Why two locations? Let's imagine you have multiple users logging into you Desktop. Every user has access to the "system" fonts (but only Administrator can delete them), however the "local" or the .font folder that appears in all users "Home" folders can only be used be the one logging in. Fonts can be added and deleted at will by the user. This is useful if the user wants to add fonts that only that user wants to use.

If you are still unclear, this may also help...  http://lubuntuhowto.blogspot.com/2016/02/how-to-show-hidden-files-and-folders-on-lubuntu.html

or this one...  and scroll down to Fonts.   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Setup

For the "colors" in question two. I don't know about "config" files for QB64 but I use the "IDE Colors" in the "Options" tab at the top of QB64's window. You can either select from several "Schemes", or if you are brave enough, make your own by modifying the many "items" and saving when done. I hope this is helpful...

@Johnno56
Thanks I follow your tips and I can use Font for QB64IDE aspect!

Moreover I can say, after doing it with good results, Config.txt in internal folder can be modified adding string for Scheme$ for ide like in this post https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=550.msg5912#msg5912

Thanks again
