Zorin Appearance layout tab blank after setting show-more-layouts-message to false (18.1 Core)

General Help

Hi,

I'm using Zorin OS 18.1 Core.

In the Zorin Appearance app, the Layout tab shows a "Get more desktop layouts"
promotion overlay. The layout options behind it are not clickable.

When I set the following gsetting to false:
gsettings set com.zorin.desktop.appearance show-more-layouts-message false

The promotion disappears, but the layout tab becomes completely blank —
no layout options are shown at all.

Setting it back to true brings the promotion back, but layouts remain unclickable.

Has anyone else experienced this after updating to 18.1?

the more layouts option is for Zorin Pro version

Thank you for the reply, but I'm aware that the premium layouts require Pro.

My issue is that the 4 standard layouts (Windows-like, Touch, Windows List-like,
GNOME Shell-like) are also not selectable — they are hidden behind the promotion
overlay and cannot be clicked. These should be available in Core.

This appears to be a bug specific to Zorin OS 18.1.

You could try to reinstall zorin appearance and the layouts:

sudo apt reinstall zorin-appearance zorin-appearance-layouts-support zorin-appearance-layouts-shell-core
