Yeah, Gnome3 and GTK3 are beyond abysmal, but...

Unless you live in the past (I've already migrated even production systems
from jessie -- upgrade to stretch is flawless so far), I have bad news: XFCE
has in a good part already migrated to GTK3.

Which, in a theme thread, means you have no choice but to get a combined
GTK2+GTK3 theme. This is a pain as most good themes are GTK2 only, and those
with a GTK3 component need to be reworked every time GTK3's minor version
changes (no backwards compat at all).


Meow!
