Maintaining a theme that works good for all apps is very hard. I've never seen a dark theme that really worked and was well maintained. Countless very good themes of all kinds were discontinued when all that GNOME related stuff made the step from <= 3.18 to >= 3.20. For Ubuntu I'm still on 16.04.4, so I'm still using gtk-icon-theme-name = "Adwaita" gtk-theme-name = "Adwaita" On Arch Linux I needed to drop "Adwaita", since at least gnome-themes-standard > 3.18.0 makes GTK2 apps look like shit. I also dislike adwaita-icon-theme > 3.18.0, but it's not that worse as gnome-themes-standard. A common used replacement for the "Adwaita" theme is an edited "Arc" theme, see https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme/issues/406 . So on Arch Linux I'm using gtk-theme-name="Arc-RM-Cornflower" my own custom-tailored "Arc" theme and FWIW a modern icon theme named "Sardi-Mono-Papirus-Colora-Havelock" + additional self-made icons. I strongly recommend to stand with a light theme either with even the new "Adwaita" or a theme as close as possible to the old "Adwaita", that is provided by an official Ubuntu repository. A flashy light or dark theme gains nothing, if it isn't enthusiastic maintained. -- pacman -Q linux{,-rt{,-pussytoes,-securityink,-cornflower}}|cut -d\ -f2 4.16.7-1 4.16.7_rt1-1 4.14.34_rt27-1 4.14.29_rt25-1 4.14.28_rt23-1 -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
