It looks like you are using a theme that doesn't like your appearance/window manager setup. Your themes seem to work with your gnome apps like Geary and Evolution but not with the non-gnome apps. I would try different themes via via Settings | Appearance | Style and Settings | Window Manager | Style. In the former, I use Greybird. In the latter I use Ambiance-Flat-Pink. As Ralf indicates, gtk2/3 themes do NOT play well with each other across desktops. So, you need to be careful which ones you select when you start using apps that jump across desktop/wm variations. - Victor -- -- Victor Forberger vforber...@fastmail.fm blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com
