Hi, @mickee and @tatanka :slight_smile:

For the record, I have never tried "GTK+3 Classic" - https://launchpad.net/~lah7/+archive/ubuntu/gtk3-classic - created by Luke Horwell (@lah7 here in the "Ubuntu MATE Community"), but I think that I can help here a little bit, even so.

I see that in the web page "GitHub - lah7/gtk3-classic: Patches to bring back a traditional experience for GTK+3" there are more specific instructions to install "GTK+3 Classic", specifically the following instructions:

" (...)

Installation

(...)

Ubuntu 20.04, 21.10, 22.04

These packages are based on the original gtk+3.0 package, with the version suffixed with ~classic.

To install, add the repository and upgrade your packages:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lah7/gtk3-classic
sudo apt dist-upgrade

Available for these architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc and ppc64el.

To restore the original GTK3, use ppa-purge to restore the packages from Ubuntu's repository:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:lah7/gtk3-classic

(...) "

I hope that helps :slight_smile: You may also want to read the following 2 related posts written by @lah7 here in the Ubuntu MATE Community:
