Candido theme (Will not look as intended because GTK engine is missing
Hey guys,
Tried my best to describe my problem in the subject. Thing is, when I select the nice looking "Candido" theme in GNOME Appearance, there is a box telling me:
"This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine " is not installed."
What does " (???) mean? Is this a bug? Or what package is missing? And thanks all for a great community! I try my best to help others out.
Thanks in advance.

Have you installed the candido engine? Search for it with "pacman -Ss candido".

Yes, I have. So I can't see where the problem is? Are you/can you use the candido theme, without the message showing up? I can use it... but it still say it won't look as intended.. so a little confused. Thanks.

I don't use gnome, I'm sorry. But it works fine in lxappearance for me.

Re: Candido theme (Will not look as intended because GTK engine is missing
I have the same "issue," though I think it's nothing more than a bad line of code outputting a junk string. Everything works here.
Edit: Using Nova-Blue GTK theme and Nova Emerald theme. I also had this when using the Slickness theme.

Stop looking at my signature. It betrays your nature.

Yep, I think so too. It's just bad coded. But still, this might be considered as a bug? I mean, they should fix it in the next package release. If I just knew how to do it, I would do it myself.
