I am using Openbox without a DM therefore xfce4-settings didn't interfere. I see in the shimmer-themes description:
Depends: greybird-gtk-theme (>= 1.8.0), numix-gtk-theme (>= 1.8.0) Suggests: albatross-gtk-theme, bluebird-gtk-theme, orion-gtk-theme, shimmer-wallpapers I have also tried bluebird-gtk-theme and orion-gtk-theme, they look good too. I like greybird-gtk-theme most but it is affected by a bug, therefore I was removing it. The bug it is affected with is reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shimmer-themes/+bug/1448487 >From the Synaptic history: ***** Commit Log for Thu Apr 23 22:36:53 2015 Les paquets suivants ont été complètement supprimés : greybird-gtk-theme Les paquets suivants ont été supprimés : shimmer-themes Commit Log for Thu Apr 23 22:36:53 2015 ***** I was not surprised to see shimmer-themes removed, but next when I used apt-get in the console for something else, numix-gtk-theme was in the autoremove list. I can see why it is more comfortable to have a meta-package for Xfce4 as it is meant for it. Is there a solution on the meta-package side so that this doesn't happen? Or none, as long as a meta-package is used? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450148 Title: In Vivid shimmer-themes misses reverse depend on numix-gtk-theme To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shimmer-themes/+bug/1450148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
