Hey all - looking for some new dark / black colored MATE 'Controls' themes for my laptop! I'd prefer them to have gray, blue or red highlights to match my current favorite icon sets, etc. I'm using Linux Mint 19 MATE 64-bit - everything is up to date.
I've been using BlackMate almost exclusively because it's the only dark theme I've found that I've not had any issues with and looks really nice. I've downloaded several more aside from BlackMate, but most all seem to have odd annoying problems like the volume or brightness bar that tells you the current setting being blank or incredibly hard to see (such as with the Adwaita theme - volume is actually set to 75% here):
Or often text boxes on websites are incredibly hard to read - this includes drop-down menus as well (such as this example with me using the Adapta-Nokto-Eta theme:
Anybody have another suggestion aside from BlackMate that doesn't have these small niggly problems with it?
Cheers!
