Thank you, Bengt!  I don't know how it got modified to begin with, but I like it  better in plain black!

Actually Doug, you probably do know.

Welcome to Tumbleweed, where TBird has been updated 3 times in the last 2 weeks.

With a /rolling/ release, when there is a sudden change in behavior in the system or an app, usually the first place to look is whether there was just an update.  While sometimes it is not clear what the culprit was, other times it is obvious - like when the misbehaving app was itself just updated, as in this case.

It is the user's responsibility to do some investigation first before asking others to do so.  Especially with a rolling release.

And btw, you also need to know how to find/reinstall a previous version if the new version is not acceptable.  You lucked out in this case.

And of course, people like me were baffled by the question, not understanding it - because he did not say this was on Tumbleweed.

That's interesting. I'd like to know how to find/reinstall a previous version--maybe the upgrade to TW is why the scanner no longer works--I blamed it on destructive interference from Aver Media EZRecorder.
(I am returning the Aver device anyway. It doesn't work the way I would like a TV recorder to work.)  And if the responder would be so kind as to tell me how to find information like this myself I'd be grateful.

I can't find his reply at the moment, but shortly after you posted about the scanner Carlos asked if you had had a recent update.  I don't recall you following up on that.  In any event, of course the first logical suspect when anything like this happens, is to look into the recent update(s).  Tumbleweed is IMHO of extraordinary value as it provides rigorous testing for what will become the next point release.  Using a rolling release usually requires additional attention, and certainly the ability to navigate unexpected surprises anywhere in the system.
