Left-aligned buttons appear to break community-themes

[Tom Harris]

Binary package hint: light-themes

I wasn't sure what to file this against, but since the new left-aligned windows controls are for the new themes this seems the best place.

Currently selecting some themes from the community-themes package (e.g. Sorbet, Homosapien), the window buttons display incorrectly. It appears metacity is only drawing the "front" of the button and not the background. So, in Homosapien for example a small x is displayed, but not the orange box around it. Using Ubuntu Tweak to switch the window controls to the right causes the buttons to reappear.

Steps to reproduce
1. Install community-themes
2. Select Homosapien in Appearance Preferences

4. Change window buttons to right hand side

This is not a duplicate of that bug, I have no issue with where the controls are by default but setting window controls to the left on many themes in the community-themes package, causes the buttons to display incorrectly. Regardless of whether left or right controls are the default this is still a bug, probably in metacity but I'm not sure.

James,

Any chance you could take a look at this?

Sure.

It's because of the bg's for the buttons. I'll have it fixed.

[James Schriver (dashua)]

This should be fixed. Lucid is now specifying the button layout (Ambiance/Radiance) via the index theme. The layout out will remain the same as intended unless you want the buttons on the left, then I will need to do some work. :)

I fixed this in Dust as Kido made the metacity adjustment to support the left side.
