[opensuse-gnome] 3.6 Missing Themes?
So I set up 12.2 with GNOME in a Virtualbox VM. I had immediately chosen HighContrastInverse as the GTK+ theme via gnome-tweak-tool. Then I went ahead and updated to 3.6. After the 3.6 update, I noticed I no longer had high-contrast inverse functionality. It was back to bright white environment. Going into g-t-t, I searched and there's quite a few themes missing that were in there previously, including the high contrast inverse theme. Now, it only provides Adwaita and High Contrast. This effectively makes 3.6 unusable for me. Is this an upstream decision to eliminate the themes, or a packaging issue on our end? Should such themes have been deleted in the upgrade process if they were already in our system? If it was simply an oversight, we should try to put them back in soon because those with visual impairments even worst than mine will suddenly be lost and unable to navigate around once their beloved inverse theme is taken out from under them.

I don't use gnome, but if magnifier is just a window that one has to catch and move manually, then it is a step back comparing to theme and oversized virtual desktop where just hitting the edge will move screen in wanted direction. No need to aim at some point on magnifier. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

The magnifier is one of the main reasons why I wanted to get to 3.6. It is great to see it finally implemented, although I have yet to figure out exactly how this feature works. One of several things I need to explore today. Both the theme and magnifier functionality have their place. One does not provide a blanket solution that negates the other. However, this isn't the place to argue that. If this was an upstream decision, then I need to discuss it upstream rather than here. Let's not turn these "question" emails into a referendum for/against some GNOME aspect. I brought up the question here mainly because I was unsure whether we in openSUSE somehow overlooked packaging those themes. But since Bjorn pointed out it was an upstream move, that effectively ends this thread, question answered.
