This seems to be common with all themes. I am currently on GreenLaguna and thought I give a try on it for a custom scrollbar. So I have created a custom theme package and hit on my first problem. I have yet to be able to add my custom theme to the appearance gui. I have put it in ~/.themes and /usr/share/themes. Both ways should work, I have used this in the past in Ubuntu.
For the moment I’m stuck until I get pass this.
Any thoughts?
@Alif_Dal_Mim because you asked about scrollbar color.
I haven’t been following the themes @m1804 but I asked the guy who has oversight.
According to @wimpy, the dark one is as intended. His thoughts were the green made it look stark.
I would personally prefer the green variant too, since it helps with accessibility with a better contrast. You could also say it stays consistent with the regular theme.
The source code for themes can be found in ubuntu,-mate-artwork, if you’d like to contribute the changes.
Note:
This tweak should work on all default themes. It was created using GreenLaguna, so milage may vary.
Scrollbar/buttons/slider tweaks will need to be added to (home directory) ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (the /gtk.css file will need to be created at that location) and this is a per user modification that will not work system wide. Currently I cannot add a custom theme system wide using root access to /themes or user themes to /.themes. The appearance GUI just will not see them.
