So I upgraded my Devuan installation from Beowulf to Chimaera. Process was a bit tricky, +especially since I apparently had packages installed from Debian Multimedia installed +that caused some problems (since these are considered "newer"). Apt-Pinning to +the rescue, downgrading everything to the official repos. + +So, only now, after the update, I realized the UI looks odd. (XFCE4). And what do I now, +after looking up the appearance settings - ALL THEMES ARE GONE!!! + +God, I'm pissed. Apparently, the `xfwm4-themes` package is no longer there, and even installing +the deb manually doesn't help - from what I've read this has to do with the GTK (version 2 to 3) engine. + +Great, now I'm stuck with an Ugly looking desktop / window decorations. I couldn't find anything I like +over at [XFCE looks](https://www.xfce-look.org/), too. So, tough luck. + +Also, it looks like the task bar items are occasionally "greyed out", which in confusing as well. |
