Problem in Mint-Y theme and controls rendering #46

Closed mehdi1902 closed 7 years ago

mehdi1902 commented 7 years ago

Hi, When I use Mint-Y theme(specially Mint-Y controls), I get a bad view of it image Attend to menu bar in above image and buttons in the below. image

But if I use Adwaita everything seems well :)

I copied Mint-Y files from another(well working) system and it didn't work for me. I have this problem with Mint-X too.

What version of gtk are you using?

mehdi1902 commented 7 years ago

It's the default version that installed in Mint18(Sarah) and I think its gtk3.

I wanted to install Gnome on my Mint but after installed it, I had issue with my system so I reinstall mdm and make it default. after that Mint-Y and Mint-X couldn't render well :)

Hello, everybody.

@mehdi1902: what JosephMcc is asking you is what version of gtk3 is installed in your system. Run this command in a terminal: dpkg -s libgtk-3-0 | grep '^Version'. If the reported version is 3.20 or 3.22, then that's your problem. None of the themes that you installed from Spices supports gkt3 3.20+ (I didn't try the new ones). This was reported numerous times (#2, #18, #30, #37).

@Odyseus Thanks for your reply, the result of the command is:

Version: 3.20.8-1ubuntu0~ppa1

It's 3.20 unfortunately. When I installed the OS for the first time everything was OK and these problems occurred after trying to install Gnome desktop. I installed this version of OS(Sarah) on another systems and it's OK :-(

@mehdi1902

You could simply install a theme that is compatible with gtk3 3.20+. The Arc-theme (from which the Mint-Y theme is based on) is very similar to Mint-Y and it's compatible with 3.20+. There is also the Adapta-gtk-theme.

You could also revert back to gtk3 3.18. But it's better that you ask for assistance with that on Mint forums.

@Odyseus Thanks for your advice :) Your suggested themes are beautiful and what I want ;-) Now I know about compatibility of a theme and gtk that I didn't know before :-D

thanks a lot ;-)
