Not true!  Just look at the screenies. The sliders and controls in Vertex and 
OSX-Breeze are completely different! So that has to be in the vertex/osx-breeze 
css.

Yes there is either rebuild vertex/osx-breeze or use a different theme.

I want to start from a theme that works best for my use case.  Of course each 
one of us has different preferences/needs.  Clearlooks-Phenix-purpy has no 
rendering issues on my Devuan XFCE.  I have not yet found another theme that 
doesn't have more problems than it's worth to try to fix.

I suspect emninger's issues are due to the WM he's using.

If anyone following this thread has an interest in the warts that I found for 
both Vertex and OSX-Breeze (I'm sure there are more) in about 5 minutes, you 
can download these screenies:

Of course the landscape is always changing and undoubtedly the future will 
bring challenges that will be harder to work around (more SNS and unneeded 
complexity).
