The GTK3 themes are based off of high contrast, so they don't match the look of the GTK2 themes exactly, but they color-match well and still look quite nice. When I get some more free time, I'm going to try to convert the GTK3 components to being based on something more conventional, like Adwaita. As long as I find the time, it shouldn't be too hard, because GTK3 is basically just CSS. But maybe those will be of interest.

adding myself here, as I found the GTK2/GTK3 theming issue same as annoying as the situation years ago (when some apps already switched to GTK2 while others still remained at GTK1). So to ask:

- Any themes worth recommending that work well and look the same with both GTK2 and GTK3 applications?
- Is there an estimated timeframe on when XFCE might be moving towards GTK3?

It's not really a functional issue, it's just, well, about inconvenience seeing that choosing a visually appealing _and_ working theme is a bit annoying at the moment. smile

Thanks in advance,
Kristian

While not at complete as Greybird currently is, they more than get the job done.
