How To Revert ModernCard Dark Under Linux
Awesome Donkey:
Okay, looked into it and figured out what causes it.
In main.xml of the Dark Edition skin is this line...
--- Code: ---<Entry Name="Template" Bitmap="ActionWindow_Template.png" Margins="2,4,2,2" InternalMargins="1,0,1,0" VerticalSpacing="0" HeaderHeight="24" HeaderOnly="1" />
--- End code ---
If HeaderOnly="1" is present, the import will blink (in any skin with this present, mind you). This also includes other skins that come bundled with MC including Noire, Noire Glass, Black on Black, Pearl Bailey and Purity. Importing media will blink with all of those skins when an import is running. However, if HeaderOnly="1" is removed, it a) stops the blinking and b) changes how the action window and importing media areas look. Also explains why the other Modern Cards skins don't do this, it's commented out in those.
So, I'm stumped at the moment. Currently trying to figure out a way to maintain how it looks now without the flashing. Is this a MC bug? I seem to recall it was intentional.
Matt:
Good find.
Coming next build:
Changed: Skins without a Template in the Action Window would not blink.
Awesome Donkey:
The blinking issue should be fixed in 27.0.29 and newer. It'll only blink during import if your library is empty, but it won't if it's not regardless of skin. :)

Lagging badly here....
For quite some time now, I've been avoiding dealing with an MC issue I've been expreiencing, wherein, if any audio were playing, any changes to the library or views, meaning, really, any... tag changes, file deletion, view column add/remove... etc would not happen until playback was stopped. The ridiculous queue of tasks would inevitably result in MC crashing and all changes lost...
I uninstalled ESET AV and exhaustively set exclusions in Defender's options, but still, the problem persisted. I got frustrated. My Windows installation is was many years old, spanning many major updates, so I wiped the lot and clean installed 20H2... Getting things back the way I like them, even with plenty of backup cover, is time consuming for me, so, I may be some time...
The MC issue is cured... testing regularly as stuff is put back in place, and no change in the default Defender settings either... fingers crossed.
Linux makes me nervous anyway... did anyone ever get to the bottom of why, only in Linux, there is no Volume slider visible on my Black & Blue Too skin?

Didn't even know that was a thing, when I get a chance I'll go take a look.
