Not true! Just look at the screenies. The sliders and controls in Vertex and OSX-Breeze are completely different! So that has to be in the vertex/osx-breeze css.

Yes there is either rebuild vertex/osx-breeze or use a different theme.

I want to start from a theme that works best for my use case. Of course each one of us has different preferences/needs. Clearlooks-Phenix-purpy has no rendering issues on my Devuan XFCE. I have not yet found another theme that doesn't have more problems than it's worth to try to fix.

I suspect emninger's issues are due to the WM he's using.

If anyone following this thread has an interest in the warts that I found for both Vertex and OSX-Breeze (I'm sure there are more) in about 5 minutes, you can download these screenies:

Of course the landscape is always changing and undoubtedly the future will bring challenges that will be harder to work around (more SNS and unneeded complexity).
