should we specify a standalone gtk.css for xfce? https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/issues/677

Please specify version for xfce or numix, https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/commit/8083a96a14472836f5c1090d8a0a2fa2e4633ffb should have fixed this.

Please specify version for xfce or numix, 8083a96 should have fixed this.

Hi, I'm the original author of thread on arcglinux.org. Currently my version of numix is local/numix-gtk-theme-git 2.6.7.r51.b652b19-1, so (I assume) it refer to commit b652b19, which is latest in current master. About xfce version: 4.14 (everything is latest from arch repo). The only exception is xfce4-notifyd: 0.4.4, because latest is not working correctly with numix.

Notifyd was updated with respect to its base/fallback class so your code doesn't apply anymore. The "osd" class was dropped so you need to at least drop the lines referring to it: https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/blob/b652b19b76814862f7e87a66e936565809fbf972/src/gtk-3.20/scss/apps/_xfce.scss#L32 https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/blob/b652b19b76814862f7e87a66e936565809fbf972/src/gtk-3.20/scss/apps/_xfce.scss#L39

This will likely improve things but you may also have to specify a few more things like colors. The new fallback class is "keycap" (because this looks best out of the box with Adwaita).

Commit 8083a96 only works for xfce4-notifyd 0.4. My suggestion to have this issue fixed is to discard the current code for xfce4-notifyd, and do the same as Greybird gtk theme and create a Numix specific stylesheet file for xfce4-notifyd based on the Greybird stylesheet for xfce4-notifyd and just adapt it with the Numix color palette and style. Currently, Numix includes a gtkrc file for gtk2 based xfce4-notifyd, and there is no gtk.css file for the gtk3 based one.

Something like this (replacing $osd_bg with #444 and $osd_fg with #eee?) for xfce4-notifyd-0.4/gtk.css:

#XfceNotifyWindow {
    background-color: shade($osd_bg, 0.3);
    color: $osd_fg;
    border: 1px solid shade($osd_bg, 0.6);
    border-radius: 6px;
}

#XfceNotifyWindow button {
    background-image: none;
    background-color: shade($osd_bg, 0.3);
    color: $osd_fg;
    border-color: shade($osd_fg, 0.35);
    border-radius: 3px;
}

#XfceNotifyWindow button:hover {
    background-color: shade($osd_bg, 0.4);
    border-color: shade($osd_fg, 0.45);
}

#XfceNotifyWindow label#summary {
    font-weight: bold;
}

#XfceNotifyWindow progressbar {
    min-height: 6px;
    border-radius: 3px;
}

#XfceNotifyWindow progressbar progress {
    background-image: none;
    background-color: $osd_fg;
    border: none;
    box-shadow: none;
}

#XfceNotifyWindow progressbar trough {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,
                                      shade($osd_bg, 0.65),
                                      shade($osd_bg, 1.25)
                                      );
    border: 1px solid shade($osd_bg, 0.2);
    border-radius: 3px;
    padding: 1px 0;
}

@darkshram Your suggestion works for me. See screenshots..

PS: if you have some time maybe you could take a look at this #752? All day I've been trying to figure out why Lightdm is ignoring Numix's login window background color. Any help or input would be welcome, cheers in advance!
