Created attachment 1183910 [details] Greybird theme, missing elements, images, fonts etc Description of problem: Greybird in XFCE on Fedora 23 and Fedora 24 has rendering issues. Places where text is separated is all squished together, some GUI elements like sliders are missing, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): greybird-xfwm4-theme-1.6.2-2 greybird-gtk2-theme-1.6.2-2 greybird-gtk3-theme-1.6.2-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 24 (I use XFCE spin) 2. Launch pavucontrol 3. Change XFCE Settings->Appearance->Style to Greybird Actual results: Some GTK screens, such as pavucontrol in this example, are unusable with bad looking fonts. Expected results: Only styling changes, no missing elements, etc. Additional info: Greybird is not the only theme this happens on, but happens to be the one I use. Albatross, Bluebird, Raleigh and ALL XFCE-* styles act this way. There could be other Fedora themes that have this issue as well, but these are the ones that seem to be installed by default.
Created attachment 1183911 [details] Adwaita theme, looks fine
This is because of lack of GTK-3.20+ support in the released version of greybird (and other) themes. There are some patches/commits on upstream git repo - but I have not had time to test it. I can take a look over the course of this week. A temporary solution would be use either Adwaita or Clearlooks - both of which should work fine.
So, this is most likely due to changes in gtk3. The 3rd party themes lag behind adjusting to new gtk3 changes. Adwaita is the reference theme that gnome uses so it's adjusted along with gtk3. All that said, there is a slightly newer greybird available. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15017453 Does that help your use cases any? (Thats only with 3.18 support, and Fedora 24 has 3.20, so theres likely still issues)
I think we might have to run a trial with 3.20 branch - https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/tree/gtk3.20 The one with 3.18 might not even be worth updating in Fedora - at least as far as I can tell from my testing a while back using the git repo.

Restart XFCE? Did I get the appropriate RPMS? thanks Nirik :)
Yeah, it doesn't seem to help much... the changes in gtk3-3.20 were pretty large. :(
Can you try this? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15087973 This is from gtk3.20 branch and should be better - not perfect. But, I am sure extra testing is beneficial.

I think this is something that is badly needed considering Greybird is in xfce spin .. :(

I'm only using it in XFCE in F24, I'm honestly not sure what the other builds are for or how to 'use' them ;)
