I love this theme but on your green theme in Ubuntu-Mate but one issue with the Chromium address bar: Dark text on a dark background. It's fine on your master blue theme.

Thank you very much for this beautiful theme! I just installed on Ubuntu 17.10 and it looks awesome :D
PS: Can it work with Kdenlive and VLC somehow?

Yes it can. The frontends of Kdenlive and VLC are written in Qt. So if you go into your Qt-Configs you can change the appearence: Select "gtk" and all the Qt-written windows will be styled like the other windows written in gtk.

Thanks! It worked for VLC, but not for Kdenlive (only the menus are dark themed).

EDIT: Nevermind. I installed Breeze theme and then I could select that theme to make Kdenlive dark. Cheers!

Hi, xfce-support is currently under development. The actual version is not tested with xfce, so I'd recommend using another theme atm.

I don't know what you did, but these themes screwed up my system (I'm running Linux Lite, which uses Xfce for its default desktop). After I installed your themes, the theme selector was completely unusable, leaving me with no choice but to completely uninstall them in order to restore law and order. I love the look of them...but they're unusable -- sorry! :-(

Hi, thank you for reporting. Currently I've only integrated support for Gnome, Cinnamon and Mate. Xfce is next on my ToDo-List. For the moment I'd recommend using another theme if you're not on one of the above mentioned desktops...

Good afternoon. Obsidian is really beautiful. There is 1 problem. When I use WPS (spreadsheet) the whole sheet itself is totally black. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
you've done everything right. I know this issue, but it is difficult to fix. WPS Spreadsheet takes the color directly from the theme-base-color of gtk2.
Normally, an application which brings its own UI-skin should set _every_ color by itself and not pick up single colors from the system theme. So imho it's a problem of WPS Spreadsheet. In Writer and Presentation they've done it correctly. Have you tried changing the color of the sheet manually? (Options -> color). I've already tried to fix it, but it seems I cannot fix this. If I change the color to light, it would affect lots of components in every other application...

Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion of changing the colot manually does not work. Anyway thanks for all your good work. Gr. Evertson

...I feard it.
Maybe I can handle it with the next major release: I'm currently working on a light version with a dark-mode. The dark mode will be the current theme. This will fix some other issues like dark Textfields in Firefox or Chrome - and with a little bit of luck, the dark cells in Spreadsheet as well.
If everything goes well, it will be finished in November, for I'm also working on compatibility with the latest Gnome version, and this takes time...

I enjoy this theme, but Firefox has issues with it. In text boxes, it seems that the text box is either dark gray with dark gray text, or white with white text. With the latter I cannot see what I type at all, due to the white text on white background. With the dark gray text boxes, I can see the text but it's hard. When I change to a different theme, these issues go away.

Yes, the textfields in FF are still a problem. I'm also using Firefox as my default/favourite browser, but I still haven't figured out how to fix this. More, I don't know any dark theme which can handle it. For the moment, I'm looking forward to Firefox 57, which will bring better gtk+ support.
Anyway, if I've found a way to fix it, I'll bring an update asap, just because I need it by myself ;-)
