Normal version disappeared?
I only see three laptops and three standard versions on the files tab.
Thanks!

Thanks.
I couldn't get these "normal" titlebuttons no matter what switches I used on the command-line when compiling the theme.
I then discovered the metacity theme is always using the colorful (mac-like) titlebuttons.
I use Cinnamon DE and it's using the metacity decorations.

Also, it looks like in the latest version the text stays light in all the light themes, so you can't read it.

Please disregard. I'm stupid. Proper install from the latest github release works perfectly! Thank you. Best theme ever.

10 Very well done theme with nice color options (vimix=grey; beryl=green; doder=blue; ruby=red) in light and dark variants. Far as I can tell the laptop version has less padding for slimmer elements e.g. title bars, for a more comfortable experience on mobile devices. Thank you for sharing.

9 Great work, thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

Anyway I don't use it yet on my Ubuntu 19.04 because of incompatibility with my very favorite file manager (Double Commander aka. doublecmd-gtk, installed through apt, not by snap or appimage).
I don't understand what makes a dark theme work with this application or not but I see that Starlabs and Adwaita-dark are theming it perfectly. I don't know the difference with a theme like yours nor which files should be included or modified, sorry to be of no help.
Do you think that this issue with Double Commander could be fixed? I would be glad to use this theme as I really like it.

Here's a concrete example:
Vimix Color Dark Doder > https://i.imgur.com/brLhy9w.png
StarLabs Dark > https://i.imgur.com/FGDgJHI.png

Packages installed (all from the official Ubuntu repositories):
gtk2-engines
gtk2-engines-pixbuf
gtk2-engines-murrine
murrine-themes
doublecmd-common
doublecmd-gtk
doublecmd-help-en
doublecmd-plugins

I've posted a message on application's forum to get more informations about the files to customize but nobody answered for now > https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5769

(sorry Vinceliuice for posting this on several of your GTK3 theme pages, it just mean that I love several of your themes, not that I want to harass you ;) )

Just for reference if another user has the same issue one day:
I don't remember exactly why but I kept the habit to install custom themes to ~/.local/share/themes in my old Ubuntu 16.04. But I have a backup of my old system and while browsing it today I see that I had created a ~/.themes symlink pointing to ~/.local/share/themes. Im'not sure but even then, I may have done this trick to fix the DC theme.

So now I've tried to copy your theme's directory to ~/.themes on my current system, and... the magic happened ! I've now moved all my installed themes to this directory instead of my unclear symlink trick, so the apps already impacted by these themes before the change are still properly styled, and the only app to ignore the system theme is now as beautiful as the rest.

The solution was so simple. And the cause was just... my own mistake. Apologies. Happy end. And thanks again for your work on this theme ! :)
