Yes, Dean, you're one of the people who complained about there being two panels,
so now I'm used to using one panel. I figure that 'right-click --> Remove' is easier than adding stuff, so
Feel free to play with the desktop themes or try others or tell me which ones suck.
Compositing is on because transparency in xfce4-terminal doesn't work.
I haven't been good in the past couple of months about keeping notes to myself on what needs to be done, so I'm sure I missed other stuff.

I was just pointing it out so if you did want to do something about it. What I currently do is avoid gtk3 apps like the plague. If I do decide I need gtk3 apps then I grab the greybird theme directly from the shimmer project and install it. That has worked in the past but I haven't checked recently.

Wicd still had serious bugs when I checked about a week ago, so I've left it out for now

That's why I'm using some apps from mate rather than gnome like mate-text-editor (pluma aka gedit) and mate-system-monitor
The greybird in refracta seems to be the older darker version. The newer version is light grey with blue highlight color. Althought the panel is still dark. It isn't the most color matched theme in the world but it does make gtk2 and gtk3 apps look the same.Greybird is just too dark grayish and chromeish

FWIW, devs are polling users at the mate-desktop.org forum, proposing to ditch pluma in favor of geanymate-text-editor (pluma aka gedit)
does it really have fewer dependencies than gnome-system-monitor?mate-system-monitor
gtk3 visual annoyances. Greybird
Anything which looks the same for gtk2 and 3 is fine for me
