Created on 21 Oct 2019 · 9Comments · Source: JabRef/jabref

Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome desktop:
Installed from .deb file downloaded from https://builds.jabref.org/master/jabref_5.0.0-1_amd64.deb
JabRef version:
JabRef 5.0.0-dev--2019-10-21----0f0dce621
Linux 5.0.0-32-generic amd64
Java 12.0.2

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open JabRef with .bib file
Exception is thrown
Entry editor is blank (Just a white field. I'm in dark mode)
Exception is thrown with statement:
Uncaught exception occured in Thread[JavaFX Application Thread,5,main] and
Invalid stylesheet URL

Clicking other tabs such as: Optional Fields, Deprecated Fields etc. results in additional exceptions thrown with the invalid stylesheet URL error.
Here's the Log summary:

It's an issue with the dark theme path. The light theme should work in the meantime

@Siedlerchr True, I can confirm this. The light theme works.

It's hard to debug. The problem is that it works in gradle or eclipse fine etc but not loading from the "jar" path. However, it's the same path also used in the prefs to load the dark theme and there it works also when using the installer version. I have no clue.
