The fix is in compliments of ToZ on the Xfce forum. The hilighting is now semi-transparent as it used to be.  Either resort to self-help with the patch below or wait for the deepsea theme to get repackaged:

Starting line 158 of gtk-widgets,css, add a ".thunar .rubberband" statement:

.rubberband,
.thunar .rubberband,
view rubberband,
rubberband {
	background-color: alpha (@theme_selected_bg_color, 0.35);
	border-color: @theme_selected_bg_color;
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 1px;
	border-radius: 2px;
}

Hi golinux,
I've been using the Chimaera theme for about a week now, and I really like it. But I just noticed a small glitch - on the MATE Desktop, the selection rectangle is an opaque solid white instead of translucent blue, covering up whatever it is one is trying to select. I guess I don't make group selections of things on the desktop very often, because I just noticed this yesterday :-)  Anyway, thought you ought to know.

@sgage . . . thanks for reporting this.  I have poked it a bit and discovered it also happens on all the clearlooks-phenix themes - including the original - on xfce beowulf too yet it works as expected on ascii even though the styling is identical.  If I can't figure it out, I will post to the xfce forum to help me sort it.  Stay tuned . . .

Thanks fsmithred! Screenshot added to first post of this thread.

There is also a netboot mini.iso that might work better for you. The minimal-live is a "full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users".  Perhaps that is why some of the xorg stuff is not cooperating.

I hope this gives someone an idea of the locations used.

Devuan's grub theme is much more than a background.  That is only one small part.

All the necessary changes to manually use parts of the chimaera theme happen in /usr/share/ as described in the post above this one.  I should have posted in reverse order.  Sorry about that.

All the locations are described in the beowulf thread.

All the files have now been uploaded to gitea

I have been using a set of older "mist" icons but thinking I may recolor a set so stay tuned

Thanks for noticing.  berni51's timely interest in the theme was sufficient motivation for me to finally get my act together.   Also, I like to live with a theme for a while to make sure the colors are just right.  I can obsess about one increment in a hex for days!  I think that there have been 3 iterations presented in the first post.  The first 2 obviously didn't pass the long-term test. Maybe that's why you like this version better.

Hi golinux - When will the deepsea packages be in the repo? Or are they tucked away somewhere where I can get at 'em? I've been making do with a 'your-way-deepsea' png pressed into service for grub and lightdm :-)  I'd love to have the genuine articles. Such a soothing deepsea vibe... and I know it's not just by accident - I really appreciate your time and effort and caring, and your subtle perception of colors. Many thanks!

It's really nice to know that not everyone changes the default desktop first thing after installing.  big_smile   I'll try to get the files posted soon and share the links here.  Packaging will come later so the files will have to be copied to the appropriate places in /usr/share/themes/ and pointed to manually in settings etc. .

Just use Devuan repos until you understand what you are doing.  Trying to make it something that it is not . . . well  . . . what's the point of that exactly?

Everything is relative.  If you want to play that game . . . . I have completed nearly eight decades on this rock hurtling through space . . .

I see that you are using one of Josh's offerings.  Good that they are being put to good use.  You could also have gotten the chimaera backgrounds from Devuan's git.  The theme isn't packaged yet - I still need to double-check a few things - but is only an email away.

Why that? Is it too tricky and complicated or are you tired of the discussions & nagging?

The short answer is old age.  The mental gymnastics and long hours are just too demanding.  Also am I weary of behaving for the machine and long for simpler times and the natural world (what little is left of it).

Thanks, ruenoak.  Don't know how thorougly you read the thread but you might want to have a look at this post to discover what inspired the colors.

Thanks for taking the time to do that. Still a little low for me but I could get the general drift of it.  Might be my old ears.  smile  Impressive customization! Your innovative contributions to Devuan are much appreciated.

IIRC the OPs should be able to mark their own threads as solved once the edit window has expired. That was the whole point of adding that feature. Of course, admins can see and use it too.

That's really good news!  You did not specify which iso you used.  If you used the minimal-live (which sounds like a good idea) you missed the description on the download page:

A full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users.

We made a special effort to serve that community which is a good thing.  In any case, really happy that it worked out for you.  I will mark this as solved then.

There is some discussion of a similar issue here

#1494 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Backup entire installed Beowulf w/software + configs + /home? » 2021-03-12 04:25:32

There is a typo in there.  You omitted a space:

.iso> /dev/sdb

should be 

.iso > /dev/sdb

That may or may not fix things but give it a try.

I use palemoon to access this forum but then I am always logged in with a window open.  Have you cleared cookies, cache and history?  That might be a good place to start.
