Qogir theme now shows the background picture in Thunar, please fix Canta theme to do the same. I tried editing the gtk.css file and copying 'window.thunar notebook scrolledwindow.frame.standard-view,' value from Qogir gtk.css, but it shows the picture in background below the main window color, and you can see the picture briefly when changing folders.

This effect can not be achieved on the nemo, because the background image of nautilus is composed of two parts, the titlebar background above and the stack background below, while nemo has no titlebar, only has toolbar, and the window manager used in mint is metacity. , and metacity can't set the background image like nautilus, so nemo can't do this effect, but the background image effect of Qogir can be implemented on nemo, because only need to set the view background of nemo.

Also, i don't need the toolbar background, only main window.

You misread. It's Thunar (on XFCE) with xfwm4 not Nemo with metacity. :)

By far the most beautiful and complete theme for GNOME by many objective standards, and it certainly checkmarks all my subjective preferences. I cannot thank you enough for bringing so much happiness to my UX for such a long time.

I feel I should report here that as of 3.32 (from 3.28 for me), the following theme error occurs with GSConnect with the extension buttons like 'Do Not Disturb', and perhaps with other extensions. I am not sure whether it is an incompatibility with the new theme standards or with the latest version of GSConnect (which officially only supports Adwaita). If you want to take a look at it, you'd know more than I do. Again, thanks a lot --

Hi. I did some experimenting during lunch. I reinstalled GTK3 components, manually reinstalled, etc. Same issue. So, I looked at the gnome-shell.css and here is what I found in your latest Canta release Switch section:

/* Switches */
.toggle-switch {
width: 40px;
height: 20px;
background-size: contain;
}

.toggle-switch-us {
background-image: url("assets/toggle-off.svg");
}

.toggle-switch-us:checked {
background-image: url("assets/toggle-on.svg");
}

.toggle-switch-intl {
background-image: url("assets/toggle-off.svg");
}

.toggle-switch-intl:checked {
background-image: url("assets/toggle-on.svg");
}

If I change that to the following, the problem is resolved on Solus. I have no idea why there should be a difference between Solus and Ubuntu.

Working Switches section for Solus:

/* Switches */
.toggle-switch {
width: 50px;
height: 20px;
background-size: contain;
background-image: url("assets/toggle-off.svg");
}

.toggle-switch:checked {
background-image: url("assets/toggle-on.svg");

}
.popup-menu-item.selected .toggle-switch {
background-image: url("assets/toggle-off.svg");

}
.popup-menu-item.selected .toggle-switch:checked {
background-image: url("assets/toggle-on.svg");

}

Basically, I removed the 'us' and 'intl' designates. Hope this helps others.

How unusual. I am using the latest stable Solus, which should be 3.32 just like Ubuntu 19.04. Perhaps there are strange overrides in play. I will explore & report back any discoveries. Thanks for the information.

I know the reason, because the default theme of your system has a part of the code about switch is not on my theme, so gnome-shell will give priority to the style of the system theme.

OR just change background-size from contain to "auto", then you can play around about size min height and width section :)
