    GTK Themes issue

    Hi everyone, i'm new to this forum. I downloaded some themes and most of them don't "work" well. In some cases there is no spacing between tab titles inside a window, and no border between ON/OFF switches. I will attach some screenshots
    Thanks in advance.
    Elia Tancredi.

    Re: GTK Themes issue

    The theme you use must be made for the version of libgtk-3 used by your version of Ubuntu. If not, you get little glitches like the crowded menu titles.

    Find libgtk-3 version:
    Example: This OS needs themes made for gtk 3.14:
    Code:
    dmn@Sydney:~$ dpkg-query --list libgtk-3*

    ii  libgtk-3-bin                      3.14.13-0ubuntu1      amd64                 programs for the GTK+ graphical user interface library
    ii  libgtk-3-common                   3.14.13-0ubuntu1      all                   common files for the GTK+ graphical user interface library
    When finding themes from external sources, it's important to check the gtk support on the theme's web page.
