gtk-3.4 - problem with 3.x themes

VoVaN · Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:19 pm Post subject: gtk-3.4 - problem with 3.x themes

Hello,

I've just upgraded gtk from 3.2 to 3.4 and my theme is completely broken: wrong colors, widgets, etc... Could anybody point me to anything that helps migrating/adopt old themes to the new gtk version...

Thanks in advance,
Vlad.

P.S. It's VERY VERY disappointing....

me too!

Especially the editor-panels (gedit, evolution) are completely unusable now. (white fonts on white background or black fonts on dark background).
Fixing linkage did not help, software packages are up-to-date and valid.

GTK2 apps are still working fine though.

Best regards

Looks like it is an issue with the themes itselves, which need to be updates for compliance with gtk-3.4
I just tried it with Orion, and it seems to work now. Unfortunately no update for Zukwito and BorderLine yet.

Btw: Are there any other slim, non-blue themes for GTK3 which work well on a netbook? Like Candido? No round border, huge gaps, massive scrollbars please...

Best regards!

I'm hoping for an update of the malysUNISEX themes I found in gnome-look. Fantastic dark theme, but the widgets are all effed up when gtk upgraded. Grrr. I'll keep looking around, but I love that theme.
