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

Anyway I had to remove it from my computer because of its incompatibility with my favorite file manager (Double Commander aka. doublecmd-gtk).
I don't understand what makes a theme work with it or not but I know that Starlabs and Adwaita-dark are working fine with this app. How? no idea, sorry to be of no help.
I will be glad to use it again if it becomes compatible with that particular app.

Here's a concrete example:

StarLabs Dark (to compare)

Do you think it would be possible to fix it?

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 ! :)

I think there is a problem with the gtk2 version. I use sublime text (which must use gtk2) and if I start it up with the -w option (which waits for it to totally load before anything is displayed) it complains that it cannot find radio-unchecked-selected.png and radio-checked-selected.png in the assets sub-directory. If I create these 2 files then the problem goes away. These 2 files are referenced in gtkrc.

Great theme btw. I made a few mods to this theme for cinnamon version mint 18.3. I wanted a transparent panel so the blue desktop wallpaper I use continued with the blue theme. I edited the cinnamon.css file under header - #panel to achieve that using this: background-color: rgba (175.175.175.0.05) ; added to the end of that section inside the }. Next, I'm working on cinnamon menu to get the blue color to show up on mouse hover over buttons and menu items. Obsidian 2 is a very nice theme and I like to tweak it the best I can. Thx

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.
