Package: breeze-gtk-theme Version: 5.17.5-2 Severity: important Tags: upstream
GTK 3.24.22 introduced a new named colour, @text_view_bg, which the vte terminal library has started to rely on, causing misrendering in themes that do not define it (see <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/284>). Other text-heavy applications might also start to rely on that named colour in future, particularly if they have a dark mode. I've committed a workaround upstream in the 0.62.x branch, which will be in Debian soon; but vte upstream asked me not to commit that change to master, so the workaround will be going away in the next release cycle. Please add @text_view_bg to this theme so it will not cause misrendering in future. The new colour is intended to be used as a background for text views, contrasting well with @theme_text_color. For example, gnome-terminal and other vte applications draw text in @theme_text_color on a background of @text_view_bg. The reference implementation is that in the light variant of GTK's default Adwaita theme, @text_view_bg is the same white as @theme_base_color and @content_view_bg, but in the dark variant of Adwaita, it's a darker grey than @theme_base_color and @content_view_bg, to give white text better contrast. If this theme does not need to distinguish between text views and other application content areas, defining @text_view_bg to be the same as @theme_base_color or @content_view_bg would be appropriate. Thanks, smcv
