Panel Plugin Not Picking Up GTK Theme

The plugin in question is TopMenu.

Any ideas?

There is an open bug/issues report about this with the developer of the plugin: https://gitorious.org/projects/topmenu/issues/6.

Hmm. It seems no one has even looked at it.

It can't be that hard to fix, surely?

Sounds like its a coding issue though. There are some suggestions in the bug report to fix the issue. Perhaps you can give the developer a polite poke to have a look at it.

>TopMenu uses XEmbed instead of other approaches

in other words it will follow the style of the GtkMenuBar widget from your theme, but you can style the whole plugin with it's own class eg: https://github.com/sixsixfive/Glare/com … da1c906654

also keep in mind that you need to load its gtk module:

I've just been through all the themes that I have installed to see how well topmenu works with each one. The results are mixed. Some it works well with, some it makes a brave attempt to match the panel colour and others it fails miserably.

The most surprising success was with bluebubble. Which has pinstripes, forgawdsake.
