Hi folks. I'm attempting to run a "hello world" application copied from https://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/stable/hello-world.py.html.en . I did change it, but only minimally - specifically, I added a #!, and gave it a gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
It runs fine displayed on a Linux Mint 18.1 system (as long as I don't monkey with the themes - trying to change themes using lxappearance breaks it). It doesn't appear to run well displayed on a Linux Mint 18 system. I used lxappearance to change themes. I'm getting the feeling that either this was a mistake, or the version of lxappearance I'm using is too old. I'm not using LXDE as my desktop, BTW, I'm using a mix of Cinnamon and fvwm2. Some relevant files are in: http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/svn/gi-hello/trunk More specifically, at that svn URL: * hello.py is the slightly modified hello world app from the gnome demos URL mentioned above. * good.png is a screenshot of what the app looks like when things are going well (displayed on a Mint 18.1 system without having used lxappearance). * bad.png is what the app looks like when things are not going well (displayed on a Mint 18 system, or a Mint 18.1 system on which I've tried to change themes using lxappearance). Is there a good way of running a new GTK+ app remote displayed to a system with an old theme, or of running an old app remote displayed to a system with a new theme? Do I just need to upgrade the old themes to something modern? And what tool should I do the theme upgrade with, if any? I googled a bit, but it looks like a lot of the information around the internet on this topic is dated now. If there's a manual or FAQ list I should look at, feel free to point me at it/them. Thanks!
