Window Control Icons (Invisible) GTK4 Windows

wiggmpk opened this issue Β· comments

Hello everyone! Really enjoying this theme and I appreciate the effort put into creating it.

After install, following the directions provided I'm left with a Nordic themed GTK3 application window and an Adwaita themed GTK4 application window as shown below.

From there I sim-linked ~/.config/gtk-4.0 directory with that of the installed Nordic/gtk-4.0 direcotry
Which gave me Nordic themed GTK4 applications windows as show below.

As you can see it looks great, sans the window control icons ;) which are very much still there lol

Is it possible I did something incorrectly? How can I overcome the missing Window Control Icons?

I was able to correct the issue by making modifications to a local of ~/.config/gtk3.0 and ~/.config/gtk-4.0 (instead of sim-link)
gtk.css & gtk-dark.css is both directories.

Instead of "../assets" I used the fully qualified path "/usr/share/themes/Nordic/assets"
attached are the diffs
diff-gtk3.log
diff-gtk4.log

Can you explain more on how to fix the issue, may be through a video.

Following are the modified gtk-3.0 and gtk-4.0 folders after copying the files from Nordic-darker-v40/(gtk-3.0 and gtk-4.0) to ~/.config/(gtk-3.0 and gtk-4.0) .
gtk.zip

Hi, the easiest way to get it fully working is by using this script

I am currently on Ubuntu 23.10 . If i am cloning this repo and applying the theme using gnome tweak tool it is like this :

and if i am downloading the zip file and then applying the theme it is like this :

In both the cases settings and nautilus have the default theme.😲

Yes, I took the master zip file.
Extracted the archive and it's contents to /usr/share/themes/Nordic
I adjusted the gtk.css and gtk-dark.css files that are located in the gtk-3.0 and gtk-4.0 directories. A simple find & replace for "../assets" replaced with the fully qualified path of "/usr/share/themes/Nordic/assets"
I copied the ../gtk-3.0 and ../gtk-4.0 directories (and their contents) to the local user config (IE: /home//.config/gtk-3.0/)
I applied the theme and shell theme via Gnome Tweak Tool
Restarted the display server (I would imagine logging out and back in would be sufficient)
Profit

Much appreciated but I don't have time to dissect the script and I don't use community scripts without knowing precisely what they do (no offense, just a security habit)

I posted the issue to point out the potential issue users might/will see, not that I need help with the theme, all is well here :)

This is most likely because of the local configs for GTK3 and GTK4 in your /home/userName/.config directory
I would assume you're seeing the same thing I described in my initial post.

Yes, you are right. After modifying the filepath to /home/user_name/.theme/assets/ my problem was resolved. Thanks.. πŸ™‚

But, after restarting the system my wallpaper is now grey, however in overview I can see the wallpaper I setted. How to fix this ?

I would just try re-applying your wallpaper however you originally applied it. It should be maintained somewhere in your home directory so it was probably overwritten when you copied the gtk-3.0 and gtk-4.0 directories over.

I tried re-applying the wallpaper but it still turned to grey. But in the oveview ( windows key + A ), the wallpaper i applied is correctly showing. I think if it is related to the css which is changing the bacground colour.
