In the sound settings, the Output volume, sliding bar, and on/off switch has a boarder shown around it with no margins and it doesn't look quite right. Under adwaita, there is no boarder around these widgets.

Hi! First of all I want to congratulate with you for your beautiful work! Your "paper" theme really rocks!
Aniway, I encountered some issues with it. Here in this post I will discuss about gnome3 apps. The following post will be about gnome 2 apps!

There's a little problem with gnome-control-center and gnome music. Notice that I run gnome 3.14 (with gtk 3.14). Attached images should explain better wht I'm talking about. It seems that "paper" can't display correctly lists of objects, as there is a row upon each object which should not be there! It could be something related with gtk version.

Thanks in advance for your work!

When typing new text into certain inputboxes of LibreOffice, the typed text is overlayed on top of the existing text. This occurs in many places such as the Style and Font inputbox in Writer and the formula bar in Calc. Resizing or maximizing/restoring the windows will cause the inputbox to refresh and display correctly. Other themes (Adwaita or Numix/Numix Frost) work properly.

The scrollbars, column headings of listings (like the email overview in Thunderbird) and buttons (like in the button bar of Thunderbird) have a shiny glow and aren't all that Paper-y that way.

For example, see this Thunderbird screenshot:

When allowing Nautilus to utilize the File icons on the desktop, with dark backgrounds, the text is hard to read when the desktop is selected. Adding the following to apps/nautilus.css:

.nautilus-desktop.nautilus-canvas-item {
color: white;
text-shadow: 1px 1px black;
}

Fixes the issue.

Before:

After:

This is the picture of my nautilus, and something is actually missing (or white on white) where there should be an address bar and some buttons.

That only happens when nautilus is not maximized, and when it is maximized, the address bar and the buttons reappear.
Is that a bug? Or I've got something wrong with my own computer?
Thanks for looking into this issue.

The behaviour is most easily recognized using System Monitor. When opening the application the current tab isn't highlighted. Selecting the tab or changing tabs will cause the highlight to appear. Changing to the Processes tab will cause the highlight to disappear. Reselecting the Processes tab will highlight it again.

System Monitor, just opened to the Resources tab, no highlighting.

System Monitor, tab selected and highlighted.

System Monitor, Process tab selection clears highlight.

While using System Monitor I noticed the white underline remained to help identify the active tab, however, in Nautilus it only appears during mouse-over and the active item is simply Bold. While it is discernible the Bold items aren't immediately apparent. Perhaps a slight colour difference would aid in this. The inactive tabs could be slightly darker instead of just the same font with a different weight.

While using the GNOME System Monitor I noticed that the border around the charts drawn didn't match the background when the window was inactive.

While the window is active everything matches and looks great.

Select another application and the backgrounds change to differing colours.

It's a great theme, the G+ feedback is amazing.

I know it's alpha, still wanted to report an issue and ask something.

The issue:
Gtk2 apps don't seem to adapt the Paper theme at all for me. They default back to a very early, old looking, greyish, blocky styling.

The question:
Is there any possibility to make the topbar in Gnome 3 adapt it's color to the windows in focus? That would awesome.

Anyway, great job. Looking forward to the beta.

Dropdown items hides, shows only on-hover. Overlapping color scheme somewhere

This is how looks like combination of dynamic-panel, Maximus2 extension and paper theme.
Unfortunately I am not able to "dynamic-panel" working with paper shell theme. Maybe this is worth to look at and add with paper theme as an option ?

I'm running Fedora 21 with the beta release of Paper. This is what Software looks like for me (huge headerbar and missing input field).

Linux Mint 17.1, Cinnamon 2.4 So it should be?

All applications that use header, have black squares instead of control buttons.

Button label is not visible in gnome-calculator until I mouse over it...

and this is gnome-sudoku! Here too much white equals unusability!

In the Tweak Tool, boarders appear around the GtkViewport in paper, where it doesn't appear under adwaita

I think since Chrome/Chromium switched to Aura/Ash, this part of chrome.rc will no longer do anything:

ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-trough-color = shade(0.912, @selected_bg_color)
ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-slider-prelight-color = shade(1.04, @selected_bg_color)
ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-slider-normal-color = @selected_bg_color

Your selected_bg_color is teal but the slider color in Chrome is grey.

Steps to recreate:

• Open app (geary example)
• Select an item
• Switch focus to a different app (nautilus)

Selected widget in unfocues app is no longer readable

Reading the most recent comment of @snwh I learn one of the goals of this theme is to have varied titlebars and headerbars colors for different apps, thus header bar color for the calculator is different from archive manager.

As this theme tries to follow the material design principles (http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette) , will it be a good idea to have varied colors throughout the theme without following on palette scheme throughout, for say, the dark theme?

Text has the same colour that background has.

The spiral next to "Devices" in the Bluetooth settings is missing

If the paper themes is installed in users home directory the gtk2 theme (including .theme-file) needs to copied to ~/.themes otherwise gtk2 apps don't use it.

Highlighted text is almost not discerable from unhighlighted text. I've seen this in two different apps, Geary, and devhelp. Both of them were displaying text in a webkit webview.

Hi! As promised, I'm here to write about gnome2 apps.

I encountered just 1 issue: the titlebar seems to have, on the topleft, one black pixel (see attached screenshot).

More, I must say that gnome 2 apps do not look so good with this theme, as the difference between titlebar and menubar can be a "punch on the nose". May I suggest to use, for them, the dark variant of the theme?

It applies to all applications, when selected.

The GNOME Terminal isn't applying the theme in the same manner as other applications. The menu bar colours are dark and difficult to read and by default the terminal area is white text on a white background with a white selector for white text. The sub menu also shows up white on white; however, highlighting seems to work properly.

The GNOME Terminal, using theme colours, active with the sub menu up.

Hi! This post it refers generally to a bunch of issues encountered with libreoffice. Especially with "Calc", which seems slower and every little change I have to make in text format would take too long...as it was «too heavy»...obviously with Adwaita theme everything works flawlessly, so I think it is related in some way with "paper" theme.

Thanks for your work!!

On Budgie, the main panel should be transparent (as it is when using Adwaita's GTK3 theme), but appear with a dark background when using Paper.

Compare the screenshots with Paper:

and with Adwaita:

Hi,

I've noticed this only in Synaptic:

When the main window looses focus to smaller popup, the original window goes a bit insane with black squares, see screenshot ... :)) This issue has been present ever since I've first installed the theme few days ago (didn't appear after last update).

Info:

• Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 (amd64)
• Gnome Shell 3.14.2
• Synaptic 0.81.2
• Paper GTK 1.0-048ubuntu14.10.1

p.s.: You need root access to use synaptic (ie. admin window prompt), don't know if its relevant, just mentioning it. If you need any additional information, just let me know, I'll be happy to provide whatever you need.

Regards,
Michael

This is ubuntu 14.10 with unity

On hidpi, the buttons in the (non-unified) window titlebar are tiny. Please let those assets use the bigger versions too. See the terminal window in the screenshot.

This screenshot also shows the dotted-outline issues already mentioned in #42

I tried the theme, I like it very much, I confirm the missing address bar in Nautilus but checkboxes work while in Orchis don't. Anyway, when installing as administrator, via terminal, the install.sh script tries to install the theme in /usr/share/icons rather than in /usr/share/themes.

FYI, the progress bar in transmission is white except when hovering.

Whenever there is no focus on the mail app geary, the sidebar doesn't look as expected.

Hi, I have a strange issue using Paper theme. If I use Eclipse with Java-Gnome bindings (http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/), Eclipse gives me several errors about gtk theme:

DANGER: Gtk-WARNING, Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:66:59: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory
Exception in thread "main" org.gnome.glib.FatalError: Gtk-WARNING
Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:66:59: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory
at org.gnome.gtk.GtkMain.gtk_init(Native Method)
at org.gnome.gtk.GtkMain.init(GtkMain.java:54)
at org.gnome.gtk.Gtk.init(Gtk.java:95)

Instead if I use Adwaita standard theme (or others), Eclipse works like a charm with Java-Gnome bindings.

Your theme is amazing, I hope I was helpful. ;-)

If the pane separator rises through the client side decorations .titlebar, as in Gedit's sidebar, the pane separator looks a little out of place for a flat theme. It has gradients and a gripper image.

I messed with it a bit and couldn't find the right properties, because I have no idea what I'm doing. But for now I'm using the following, which obviously isn't ideal:
.titlebar { -GtkPaned-handle-size: 0; }

Looks like it might be the GtkNotebook that is missing it's boarders. This application is "devhelp"

On Budgie, with the latest Paper theme some text are hard to read because the color is too similar to that of the translucent background.

In Gnome Videos (Totem), the control overlay while watching a video has no background, making the floating widgets look out of place.

Adwaita:

Resolves transparent backround on hover

GtkPopover .button:hover:prelight {
background-color: @selection;
}

There's a huge problem with the pantheon-terminal. First of all, if I have two applications opened and the terminal is in the background, the headerbar becomes completely transparent.

If I put the focus back on the terminal, I get the same problem, but this time with the bar with tabs.

Just cloned the theme from the git, so I'm guessing that I'm using the latest version of the theme. I'm using elementary OS Freya with the latest updates. I installed by copying the theme by copying the Paper folder to /usr/share/themes, haven't used the install.sh, maybe that has to do something with it?

When I open new tabs in Nautilus (gtk 3.12), the tabs are transparent like so

Sometimes contrast is too weak. For example the yellow titlebar with white letters/symbols. Yellow should be darker in this case or letters/symbols should be black or dark-grey.

Hi,

In alpha version, the selection color is #349f8c (Kind of Android Lollipop selection color). But in new beta version, the selection color is a bit grey and is looking dull :( How can I go back to old color ? Can I change some css file or something where I can do this ?

Thanks for giving us such a wonderful theme.

I am developing a Gtk app. When launching it with paper theme enabled, I get this error. Hope you can use it.
