Hi again! I've tweaked your themes a little bit, and I'd like to share it ;)

I've noticed that disabled buttons show no effect on the icon, which makes them undistinguishable from normal clickable buttons when they onbly have an icon (such as in toolbars). I've seen in other themes they use the line
-gtk-icon-effect: dim;
to at least dim the icon. I've located where such change could be applied. There's a line where the selector button:disabled is used. It is at around line 1072 (I've added some other changes, so it can be +- 8 lines approx). The selector affects more elements, but I'd say it is OK to add the icon effect:

notebook > header > tabs > arrow:disabled label,
button.titlebutton:disabled label,
notebook > header > tabs > arrow:disabled,
button.titlebutton:disabled,
button:disabled label,
button:disabled,
.button:disabled > .label,
.header-bar .button.titlebutton:disabled > .label,
.titlebar .button.titlebutton:disabled > .label {
color: @theme_fg_color_dis;
-gtk-icon-effect: dim; /* <------------ added line */
}

There are more selectors that point to more specific disabled buttons in other places, but I'd say that just by adding this line, this should apply to them also. Note that in GTK4 this should change a bit, but I'd say it is good to make disabled buttons with just icons look different (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk4/stable/ch40s02.html#id-1.7.4.4.36)

I've also added this at the end of radios and checks section, so give some visual feedback of the hovering on the checkboxes and radios:

checkbutton:hover, radiobutton:hover {
background-color: mix (@theme_accent_color, @theme_base_color, 0.9)
}

Many thanks again for your job! :)

Hi,
great, many thanks! I completely overlooked the disabled icons. I've dimmed it everywhere now ( *:disabled ). Both of your ideas are committed to Github and will come with the next release.

The theme doesn't show in Mint 20.0 Cinnamon, that's strange.
It was copied to ~/.themes.
I'll try with Mint 20.0 XFCE in a moment.

10 I love your Obsidian themes! I've create an xfwm version with bigger buttons to match GTK3 CSD: https://www.pling.com/p/1372199/

Many Thanks! I think you're right. Your bigger window-bars look far better than mine, so I'll enlarge them in the next Release. A height of 48px is a little bit too much, but 36-40px should fit perfect.
Btw: Your idea with the hilighted button-border in pressed-mode is brilliant! :-)

All Obsidian 2 themes are full from errors, countless gtk warnings. In Linux mint just load nemo, open a terminal, do "nemo -q" and you will see them.
btw this is not something usual because it's not happening to my other themes

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.

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 ! :)
