Known problems with the NewHuman theme

Add any problems you find with apps when using the [http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/NewHuman NewHuman] theme, perhaps with a nice screenshot to visually explain the problem but do make sure to go through the list before adding duplicates.

Note that many of these problems may be due to the theme itself. This page is not intended to point fingers but rather to collect information. If you have any knowledge as to why the problem occurs please add it as a note to the problem(s) in question.

Comments on the viability of using a dark theme do not belong here! This page is only for information gathering, not artistic opinions.

List

• Gedit

    • For some strange reason gedit uses the input box bg color instead of the normal document bg color. We can set a theme that makes it usable with the darker bg but I am not sure if we really want to give people a text editor with a dark bg
• compiz settings

    • Neil J. Patel mentioned that one can add gtk definitions (something like GtkWidget::link-color=@fg_color, GtkWidget::visited-link-color = shade (0.2, @fg_color)) for these colors in the gtkrc. I am now adding this to the newest version which will be in the sponsoring queue tomorrow (and therefor updated within a couple of days at the most)

• Pidgin

• amule

• xchat-gnome
• rhythmbox
• nautilus spinner is black on dark-grey-brown
