[SOLVED] [GTK3] All entries highlighted in dropdown menus

aphirst · 2013-09-19 21:25:18

Affected themes:
Shiki Nouveau, AUR link
(Shiki Colors, deprecated by the above)

What I did:
>Install shiki-nouveau from AUR, contains matching GTK3 and GTK2 themes
>set theme in lxappearance
>opened a GTK3 application, e.g. Sakura or DeaDBeeF

What I expected:
>For the menus to be like in GTK2 applications

What I got:
>All entries in menus are coloured as if they're the one currently selected by the mouse

Is this likely to be a problem with something I've done, a problem with GTK3, or a problem with the theme (and therefore an oversight of the creator)? Is there anything I should have known or expected, or any additional information I should give? I'll admit I don't understand a great deal about how GTK3 is supposed to work, but other themes (e.g. Adwaita, elegant_brit_revisited) don't have this problem (though I dislike how they look). Short of using a different theme, is there anything I could do to fix this?

"NOTE: These themes only work with GNOME/GTK 3.4 and Unico 1.0.2."

Therefore it does not work correctly with GTK 3.8.

Well, I feel stupid for having not found that myself. Thanks, man, guess I'll have to either live with it, change theme, or work out how to fix it myself.

I guess I should mark this as [SOLVED], or [UNSOLVABLE] ?

Well, you've found out the reason behind the problem, so solved makes more sense.

You could always update the theme yourself so that it works until the next GNOME update breaks everything.

Indeed. I'll look into updating it myself, but otherwise I'm thinking my best bet is to use qt- or gtk2-compiled versions of the few gtk3-dependent applications I use.
