Preventing Icon Themes from Changing Window Controls? #55
Comments
This sounds interesting, thanks. I agree this makes no sense. No, i don't think that "users prefer the variety". I should test your solution later. I am currently very busy working on other projects. This Mint-Yz here is currently "on ice". Moreover, it was mostly about getting better colors for Mint-Y. Now that the official Mint-Y finally moved to some better colors, this Mint-Yz here lost a bit of its initial purpose. I am thinking about archiving this Mint-Yz here, and creating a more ambitious, different Mint-Z. And then i should transfer those issues here to this new, upcoming Mint-Z. I hope i won't forget. If i forget, please remind me. All this is not confirmed yet. I am not sure about creating this new, hypothetical Mint-Z. I should be back on those Mint-Yz and possible Mint-Z projects on March or April 2023. In the meantime, and if you have some free time, I'd appreciate it if you could re-post this on the official https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes/issues ...Just to see if i am the only one who almost never gets a positive answer from there... :( |
Of course, I will post it on the official page. |
@johnsonmt01 Sorry for not doing any work on this. Here is why: #57 (In there, you will also find some hints about what is possibly coming up next...) |
I've noticed that with mint-y-legacy, and the older mint-yz themes based on them, the window controls are consistent across Metacity/GTK, regardless of icon theme. This appears to be caused by a reference in gtk.css to an "assets" folder stored alongside gtk.css, which stores the window control icons. This reference drives the consistency.
Presumably, it would be possible in current mint-yz themes to remove the gtk.css reference and dependency on Mint-Y icons, and replace that with an "assets" folder ensuring consistent window controls. Unless users prefer the variety, of course.
