Opensuse 13.1 GNOME - Nautilus file manager (main window) doesn't show/use window themes...

Nautilus file manager (main window) doesn’t show/use window themes… :frowning: even when set a theme with gnome tweak tool

but dialog windows and other programs show window themes correctly :question:
(see image)

maybe there’s a way to set this but i don’t know…

made a bug-report for this here

From reading Ubuntu guys talk about it, it’s a “feature” in the Nautilus browser which they now consider a “complete catastrophe”.

Have you considered using the Cinnamon’s “Nemo” file manager? It looks like this (taken from a VM in which I just installed GNOME and Nemo to look at it, hehe)

Or Cinnamon in general.

Well, that’s client-side window decorations for you, which GNOME chose to implement/use/force.

Here’s how it looks in KDE: (kwin ignores CSD and shows its own window decoration anyway)

But this causes a lot of headache for KDE as well, especially in combination with the newer GNOME 3.12.
The KDE developers filed a lot of bugs against GNOME already because of this.
See here f.e. for a discussion about this:

Here’s a blog post from one of the main kwin developers from 2010 already about this:

AFAIK, there isn’t.

I suppose you should better report this to GNOME directly.
This is no openSUSE-specific issue.
