[SOLVED] GIMP theme clashes with Breeze theme

So I have found this nice theme fore GIMP https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1106523/. Probleme is that some bars are not readable, when the Breeze-gtk theme is enabled. It works for the Breeze-dark-gtk theme, but then all applications are dark. For GIMP it is very convenient, because you can focus better on the picture.

Here is a picture of the affected bars:

A similar problem occurs with the offical Dark theme shipped with GIMP, but I have found a fix for that:

Bug:

Fix:

Maybe I will create a package called gimp-dark-theme-breeze-fix, when I have time. Would take me a little time though, because I have never created a package before.

Would still like to find one for the custom theme and here changing the background of those bars is necessary, because the other buttons aren't changed by the above fix, as well, as some bars in the settings menu. I have played around with all the colors in that section, but haven't found it yet.

Re: [SOLVED] GIMP theme clashes with Breeze theme

Hi there, Hmm, it's not that I have answers here, but, I' also use Breeze-Dark, together with Faenza-Darker icon theme.
For Gimp I use theme: system. I can read everything,  no problem here.
Could it be that by just installing a theme for Gimp alone it will always interfere with GTK themes?
I'm very much a nitwit when it comes to themes, but, I don't mix them , I mean use different themes for applications...
If you need something more fire away

@qinohe: Thanks for the effort. I think i will just have to manage themes better. There is always a conflict somewhere and always a solution (that is not perfect, but well you mustn't complain).
