Cannot change User Interface Layout on RPi 3B+

[dmonds]

Hi there,

As the title says.
The three selections appear in the drop down however if I select either ‘Contemporary’ or ‘Classic’ and save, the selection reverts to ‘Manifest’.

This works with a RPi 4B, but not my RPi 3B+.

I’ve tried to search these forums for an answer however have so far come up empty handed.

Can't change UI from Manifest

Hi all, Just treated myself to a new Rasberry Pi 4 and the standard 7" screen. I’ve installed the latest (3.512, 25th June 2023) Volumio: all went smoothly and it works well with headphones. The display works fine. In the drag-down I see through system settings that UI is set as ‘manifest’. There are two other options ‘contemporary’ & ‘classic’. If I drag down to one of the other options and save, after the progress bar runs along the system the UI reverts to ‘manifest’. What am I doing wr…

So, choose manifest and save…then choose something else then save?

Ok, I’ll give that a go.

Had the same issue. Yes by choosing Manifest and saving, then choosing other (classic in my case) and saving this worked. Kind of buggy in that respect.
Thanks to dmonds for the answer/fix.
