[SOLVED] xfce-terminal file menu not looking correct

Hey guys,  running xfce 4.12 on debian stretch,  fresh install with the default panel selected on first login.

When I open up an xfce4-terminal window,   the file menu looks like it's borked a bit.  It works,   but it's definitely missing _something_

I've uploaded a little grab of the issue here

To be perfectly honest,  I'm not all that up to speed with xfce theming,  so it could be something with that.  But no other DEs are installed,  just X and xfce.  It's also possible I'm missing some package I may need.  I didn't want to install the stock task-xfce-desktop package and all it's unnecessary (to me) deps.  My package state is good,  and I'm not missing anything that apt wanted to install.

I have tried setting different styles in the window manager settings,  logging in/out and that doesn't seem to effect it.

Thanks!

aww crud nvm (I think) found another post that was somewhat like mine and started playing with the styles.  I guess the default xfce style that it's setup with for some reason isn't working.  Selected another style and could see the proper menu in the terminal show up.

Yup, looks like a theme issue. Some GTK themes require gtk2-engines-pixbuf and gtk2-engines-murrine, so you can try to install those packages if you don't have them already and see if that helps. You may also try greybird-gtk-theme, it looks good on Xfce.
