why does mate-themes still need gtk2-engines

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,

Have a look at

https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver/issues/95

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/286811/where-is-aladelta-theme-hiding-and-how-do-i-delete-purge-remove-it

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/286558/figuring-out-which-theme-am-i-running-under-debian-mate

Now while it's a minor issue it does seem some breakage is around
somewhere. If it's not in mate-theme then where ?

I am still getting the same error.

$ mate-tweak

(mate-tweak:5146): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:63:28:
The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :hover instead.

The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :hover instead.
Window Manager is: marco-no-composite
Base layout: default
Current layout: default

I cleaned up the whole of /usr/share/themes/ and now have just -

[$] ls
Adwaita  Blue-Submarine Crux  Dopple  Esco  Kokodi Raleigh Spidey
TraditionalGreen AgingGorilla  Bright Daloa Dopple-Left  GreenLaguna
Menta  Redmond  Spidey-Left  TraditionalOk Atlanta Clearlooks Default

ClearlooksRe Default-hdpi  Emacs HighContrast  Mist  Simple
Splint-Left  ZOMG-PONIES! BlueMenta   ContrastHighInverse
Default-xhdpi  eOS Industrial Moheli Smoke  ThinIce

So if the issue is not in mate-themes then the only culprit remains
gtk2-engines and its brethean  as they are the only ones besides
mate-themes who are there and can't be purged without affecting mate.

─[$] sudo aptitude purge gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-murrine
gtk2-engines-pixbuf

I also did changes at .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini but with no result .
