LM 21 GTK-4.0 Mint-Y: Widget Factory shows around a half-dozen issues

[SebastJava]

Many issues in GTK-4.0 Widget Factory on LM 21 with Mint-Y

• [x] Round corners on maximized windows (FIXED and confirmed by SebastJava)
• [x] Black square backgrounds on window controls on hover
• [x] Black square background on window close button
• [x] Buggy dark mode (NOT FIXED, BUT NOT A THEME ISSUE)
• [x] No margins around buttons in pop-up dialogs (FIXED and confirmed by SebastJava)
• [ ] Bad animation for showing end or beginning when scrolling (LATER...)
• [x] Missing lines on treeview (FIXED and confirmed by SebastJava)
• [x] "GTK could not find a media module" (NOT FIXED, BUT NOT A THEME ISSUE)

Or maybe this is just my problem caused by my virtual machine?

P.S.: I would appreciate if anyone could validate or invalidate this as soon as possible. Are these real bugs or is it just me and my virtual machine?

EDIT: multi-issue OP converted to task list.

1: fixed 2: can't reproduce 3: sounds the same as 2 and can't reproduce 4: not a theme issue 5: fixed 6: Can look at improving but not a but 7: fixed 8: not a theme issue

@JosephMcc Sorry to insist but I still have 2 out of 8 multi-issues in an undefined or unclear state.

I synced my GitHub source branch to your latest commits just now, and pulled it on my local HDD. Then I have build the package and updated my VM. And then I refreshed cinnamon-settings themes and re-opened WidgetFactory-GTK-4...

So, I can confirm 3 things got fixed, and I understand 2 others are not under your responsibility. And we will leave task number 6 for later. Please check my updated task list here on top about these updates and precisions. ↑

So, this still leaves 2 similar issues in an unclear state:

• Black square backgrounds on window minimize-maximize buttons on hover
• Black square background on window close button

TO SUM UP We are talking about LM 21 WidgetFactory-GTK-4.0 with the Mint-Y theme. Do you confirm you are not getting this bug showed here in this latest video? This issue could be caused by my VirtualBox, but that would be the first time. So far, my latest VM install was 100% accurate on all LM 21 beta testing. I can only find two possible explanations: either I was not clear at describing those 2 bugs, or these 2 bugs comes from my VM.

@JosephMcc Okay. No bugs. I did another test, this time from a live LM 21 USB stick. On real hardware. AFAIK, these bad looking window controls were caused by my virtual machine. Now it looks okay. And the buggy dark mode is gone too. It all works fine, on real hardware.
