The workaround from Numix is not using the shadow drawing of Murrine but the one that is (totally superfluously) coded into xfdesktop4.
You can also see this issue with Greybird in the Alt-tab dialog of xfwm4, so it's definitely an issue with Murrine and working around it in shimmer-themes is possible, but will only help if we also drop all text- shadow from everywhere else (and I'm not even talking about other themes that might be using this Murrine function). (Easy way to reproduce: Open a few different windows, one of them being the xfce4-terminal, then use "alt-tab" to cycle and when your focus hits the terminal - boom, text-shadow with weird offset.) ** Changed in: shimmer-themes (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1598316 Title: gtk2-engines-murrine desktop text shadow problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/arc-theme/+bug/1598316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
