```
This issue occurs because `jsoncpp` changes the name of their `.so` file every release and there really isn't anything we can do about that.
**Fix:** You have to recompile polybar, so that it links to the new `.so` file. If you use precompiled binaries from a repository, you either have to compile polybar yourself or contact the packager so that they can recompile polybar and publish a package with proper linkage. Alternatively you can symlink the `libjsoncpp.so.XX` file from the error message to `libjsoncpp.so` (most likely in the `/usr/lib` directory).

## Setting Module Backgrounds when using Gradients
**Problem:** When you use a gradient as your polybar background, explicitly setting any module's background color to whatever you have set as `background-0`, either through the `-background` setting or the `%{B}` formatting tag, will not change the background color at all.
