Hi So one you manually installed libgtkmm, pdfchain installed without error? You haven't modified repository priorities?
Never worried too much about themes... I'm guessing some gtk3 tweaks can be done...
Yes, I manually installed libgtkmm and pdfchain install without any more complaints. The gtk3 theme issue affects just about all software using that toolkit.. Everyone has many gtk2 themes installed, but if you don't use gnome (and I haven't since gnome2) you don't have any gtk3 themes installed. This kills the appearance of all new gtk apps and make some completely unreadable to people using a dark system theme. (gtk3 tries to grab parts of the current system theme, often resulting in black text on charcoal backgrounds...) For non-gnome users, this is a giant headache. There are hundreds of thousands of good gtk2 themes available, but very few gtk3 themes. Then unless you have gnome installed or hack the gtk settings manager on non-gnome desktops, gtk3 apps just look like somebody's attempt at their very first "Hello World" graphic programming app. -- David C.
