dotted boxes on GTK3 Menu items

[ghost]

Great theme. Works well with Gtk-2, but shows up dotted boxes on Gtk3 application menus. Expanding the menu shows up further dotted boxes. Am using Debian, with XFCE4.

Which version of Debian are you using?

[dcherian]

Gtk version might be more relevant. I see the same on Linux MInt 17.1 Xfce but I'm using GTK 3.10. I assume that's why I see this too...

[horst3180]

FWIW Debian 8, Testing and Unstable should work with the theme. Older versions are not supported.

Is there any chance that the author will consider supporting older versions? i really miss this theme on linux mint

[dcherian]

Based on this thread (ozonos/ozon-gtk-theme#6) I set

outline-style: none;

in Arc/gtk-3.0/gtk-contained.css right at the beginning. That fixed most of them. I don't know what the side-effects of doing this might be.

Same issue on Ubuntu 14.04

[dcherian]

14.04 has Gtk 3.10. That's the issue. The workaround I put in above should work for you too.

@dcherian Thanks. That solution worked.

For @dcherian's solution be sure to apply it in the correct folder of the theme version you're using. If you're using Arc-Dark instead of Arc for example, apply it in Arc-Dark/gtk-3.0/gtk-contained.css.

The full path would be /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/gtk-3.0/gtk-contained.css.

[horst3180]

I guess this is solved then. I won't include this workaround, because it makes the focus lines invisible and it's by far not the only change needed for full GTK 3.10 compatibility.

[dcherian]

Can you show a screenshot of what you mean by "focus lines" please?

[horst3180]

I mean these dashed lines. They indicate focused widgets, which get activated on hitting return. I guess it's not hugely important when you don't navigate with the keyboard very often.

[dcherian]

I actually do see those so navigation by keyboard is possible. Maybe it's not the intended style. This is a Gtk3 app that had the "dashed lines everywhere" problem.

[ghost]

The suggested workaround doesn't work on all gtk3 application though (for eg: eog viewer). Please do keep keybboard support including the dashed/outline lines and gtk key accelerators. Till gtk upgrade on Mint, it is Vertex then for me.

Thanks.

@dcherian That is a GTK 2 application. The GTK 2 theme is not affected by this.
