Marco,

The problem with the themes is that authors don't maintain them properly; this 
is really an old subject, and I've fought a few times for such cause, time has 
proven others wise when they pulled the same argument I'm pulling now... I can 
even give you a quick example...

The Sonar 3 theme available in openSUSE (gtk3-metatheme-sonar) was made by the 
same artist who once run gnome-shell.deviantart.com; that doesn't exist 
anymore... because most artists like to do themes but not maintain them; GNOME 
and GTK3 API once in a while is improved and themes need refactoring... often 
they don't get that refactoring from the authors... thus... they don't work 
properly...

Really, this is something that any distributor avoids, because it's a waste of 
time and so far nothing has really changed... There's no point in making 
efforts in packaging themes if on the next release they are broken and never 
get fixed. Hope you understand and I share sympathy for that cause,

NM



Melhores cumprimentos,
Nelson M. Marques

Well,

I would like openSUSE should try to provide additional themes for GNOME
3.4 beside the old one Adwaita.

I know there are several external resources available around, but
official themes should be welcomed I guess.

Regards,
