+Gna. 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.
