Re: Re: Adwaita Theme
Hi all.

Sadly the theme has some major usability issues (e.g. menu items do not have borders /
some Xfce preferences like disable frame around clock/systray could not be set).

default theme. Martin already has suggested the usage of Clearlooks-phenix but sadly this
theme also has some bugs (http://jpfleury.indefero.net/p/clearlooks-phenix/issues/).
Zukitwo is a good looking option but the GTK3 version is no longer rendered correctly with
gtk 3.6. Several bugs have been reported by me to the original authors of these themes,
but have not yet been fixed.

People have suggested the shimmer project themes too.
I use
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanNight?content=148398
which has light, medium and dark versions. Maybe it's not of everyone's
taste but it works very well.
The problem is that we have to create our own visual identity. In the past this has been
the Nodoka style by Martin, but it has not been ported to GTK3, yet. I like Adwaita in
general, it has just some ugly bugs and a maintainer that is not willed to fix them (even
worse, not even willed to reply to requests). The sad thing is that this seems to be an
illness of theme designers (except Martin, of course ;): see
