Gnome 3 - Icons turn grey when window not in focus but visible on desktop

[Phil Wyett]

Ubuntu Gnome - 14.04 dev release - 20131218.

Icons turn grey when window not in focus but visible on desktop.

See screenshot.

As you can see if a window is not in focus (another window or dialog is) but visible on the desktop. Icons will turn a solid grey. This issue can be seen to affect 'nautilus' and 'evolution'. More maybe affected.

Phil, Can you confirm if this still happens using Gnome3 PPA? Looks like a theme issue caused by the GTK update, in which case will be fixed once gnome-themes-standard gets upload.

[Phil Wyett (aura-yoda)]

Yes, updating gnome-themes-standard and dep of its data package from the PPA fixed this issue for me.

[Tim Lunn (darkxst)]

Noskcaj, can you link this bug in the changelog of your gnome-themes-standard update.

[Phil Wyett (aura-yoda)]

Updates have fixed this bug and it can be closed.
