Zorin Appearance Designs: one Colum instead two

Thanks for your help!
Both commands give back empty space, but I use Fractional scaling:

Can we test it briefly without fractional scaling to see if the window switches back to two columns?

During disabled fractional scaling the one column under Designs resists.

What is your terminal output for:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor

And

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor

as fractional scaling is enabled again, your commands give following outputs:

~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor
uint32 0
~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor
1.0

pkill zorin-appearance

Set the scale factor only for the application:

GDK_SCALE=1 GDK_DPI_SCALE=1 zorin-appearance

I am on XFCE, not Gnome... So I am guessing that the launch command is zorin-appearance - we may need to check this is this does not work.

Once the above is set, launch Zorin Appearance and see if it is two columns...

your launch command is right, but problem resists

~$ pkill zorin-appearance
pkill: Muster, die nach Prozessnamen mit mehr als 15 Zeichen suchen, ergeben keine Treffer.
Mit der Option »pkill -f« können Sie versuchen, nach der gesamten Befehlszeile suchen zu lassen.

ah... pkill and its 15 character limit...

killall zorin-appearance

~$ killall zorin-appearance
worked now, but aftewards still 1 column in Designs

This is after:

correct?

yes, sorry forgot the second command, but redone gives 1 column

I am already at a loss on this. Scaling seemed the likeliest culprit.
LibAdwaita is pretty strict about widget presentation and it does not follow a Grid, but instead, size limits.

I may need to load up a copy of Gnome and examine the zorin-appearance application internals to come up with other ideas.

Try changing your Scale from 200% back to 100%

thanks for helping me!
A change to 100% Scaling also leaves the designs in one Column.
