Wouldn't it be better to have, whatever metacity-common contains special that is needed to make the themes visible, be put in another *- common package? > > >Can you please clarify how you downloaded and how you installed > > > the mentioned theme? > > I'm only using the themes from Debian packages. > > Ok, so Maxy tells me that there was some conversation on IRC > that I missed about this.

Hmm I see... but why does adwaita then show up for the controls themes, if it would have no gtk2 version? > Do you agree? Well I don't know too little of the inner workings of GTK2/3 themes, that I could judge a lot here. I just think it seems a bit odd, that cinnamon, which has nothing to do with metacity, would need to depend on one of its package. Cheers, Chris.
