After testing Ubuntu Xenial Xerus, I'd wanted to check out how Gtk 3
interfaces blend with the other desktop libraries in the software
repositories. I was very let down.
Gtk 2 interfaces still use overlay scrollbars which noticeably clash
with the Gtk 3 applications. LibreOffice draws with Swing using a Gtk 2
style, which looks bad too. This can be changed to Gtk 3 using
Synaptic, but the some of the icon controls are obscured by the dark
color of the default theme. Eclipse, which is written in SWT, uses Gtk
2 also, even though it's been Gtk 3 capable for a good amount of time.
WxWidgets is compiled for Gtk 2, even though it can be compiled for Gtk
3 support.
Qt whatever the version is, is not themed like the Gtk interfaces at all.
The operating system I'm using right now is Kubuntu, and this kind of
incongruence is virtually unnoticeable.
