Barely unreadable text in MATE Panel's menu and its window border theme #44

I appreciated that I like your minimalistic GTK theme, using with the fuchsia/pink GTK theme is quite unique.

However, there is a problem I found when using the theme in MATE (a fork of the old GNOME 2).

The first problem is that the menus in the MATE Panel is unreadable in the panel's dark color background. Here's the first screenshot, which is seen barely unreadable at the top left.

The second problem: As MATE currently uses Marco as their window manager, the Metacity theme won't be chosen from the Appearance Preferences. The reason caused that it requires "metacity-theme-1.xml" in order to choose the window border theme from the Appareance Preferences, and thus I used other Metacity themes that didn't match the theme (applies to both GTK2/3 apps). Here's the second screenshot.

I'm using MATE 1.6.2 running on Manjaro Linux 0.8.9rc2.

I thought MATE still only used gtk2 themes? This may be the reason for the weirdness.

Well, MATE uses GTK2, but it's capable to run GTK3 apps as long as their GTK3 libs installed. The developers of MATE will expected to add support for GTK3 on most of the MATE apps in the 1.10 release.

The MATE Panel uses GTK2 at the time at this comment, but they'll port to GTK3 in the future releases.

Ahh ok. Not sure about the issue.

I subscribe to this particular visual bug!

ghost commented 9 years ago

@razvanenescu Agreed! Perhaps this theme needs to have MATE support. It was meant this theme looks clear and clean.

Hi everyone, Sorry for the (extremely) long wait, but I believe that I have fixed the panel bugs with the latest commit.

ghost commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the latest commit! I can now clearly see the text on the panel's menus.
