I know flatpak and snap theming issues. But there's noo flatpak nor snap package available for this app. Installed from the official Ubuntu repository then updated through the developper PPA. It's working fine with a symlink but it's easy to forget it when exporting my user's settings to a new system. That's what happened, I've forgotten to create the symlink again. So I've stopped to use this method and I prefer to store the themes directly in ~/.themes, it's more clear. - Sep 18 2019

Just for reference if another user has the same issue one day:
I don't remember exactly why but I kept the habit to install custom themes to ~/.local/share/themes in my old Ubuntu 16.04. But I have a backup of my old system and while browsing it today I see that I had created a ~/.themes symlink pointing to ~/.local/share/themes. Im'not sure but even then, I may have done this trick to fix the DC theme.

So now I've tried to copy your theme's directory to ~/.themes on my current system, and... the magic happened ! I've now moved all my installed themes to this directory instead of my unclear symlink trick, so the apps already impacted by these themes before the change are still properly styled, and the only app to ignore the system theme is now as beautiful as the rest.

The solution was so simple. And the cause was just... my own mistake. Apologies. Happy end. And thanks again for your work on this theme ! :)

After having removed and reinstalled the theme, here's how it looks :
- Flat Remix Blue Darkest NoBorder

- StarLabs Dark (to compare)
https://i.imgur.com/FGDgJHI.png

I admit that the vast majority of dark themes don't render well on Double Commander, but some themes works fine with it. And I don't understand the cause of this issue (or I would try my best to fix it). - Sep 09 2019

Great work, thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

Anyway I had to remove it from my computer because of its incompatibility with my favorite file manager (Double Commander aka. doublecmd-gtk).
I don't understand what makes a theme work with it or not but I know that Starlabs and Adwaita-dark are working fine with this app. How? no idea, sorry to be of no help.
I will be glad to use it again if it becomes compatible with that particular app. - Sep 08 2019

Comments are crossed. but as I've explained bellow it has been resolved finally. By the way, I don't like to install themes in /usr, I prefer keeping them in my /home. But that's ok ;)

Great work, thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

Anyway I don't use it yet on my Ubuntu 19.04 because of incompatibility with my very favorite file manager (Double Commander aka. doublecmd-gtk, installed through apt, not by snap or appimage).
I don't understand what makes a dark theme work with this application or not but I see that Starlabs and Adwaita-dark are theming it perfectly. I don't know the difference with a theme like yours nor which files should be included or modified, sorry to be of no help.
Do you think that this issue with Double Commander could be fixed? I would be glad to use this theme as I really like it.

Im'not sure but even then, I may have done this trick to fix the DC theme.

So now I've tried to copy your theme's directory to ~/.themes on my current system, and... the magic happened ! I've now moved all my installed themes to this directory instead of my unclear symlink trick, so the apps already impacted by these themes before the change are still properly styled, and the only app to ignore the system theme is now as beautiful as the rest.

The solution was so simple. And the cause was just... my own mistake. Apologies. Happy end. And thanks again for your work on this theme ! :)

Yes, I've installed the following packages before trying to install any theme from Pling:
gtk2-engines
gtk2-engines-pixbuf
gtk2-engines-murrine - Sep 13 2019

Do you see those missing lines in your terminal output? - Sep 12 2019

You're right, I've tried to update double-cmd from the developer's repository to see if it resolves the issue. But it changed nothing, same problem between 0.9.2 and 0.9.6. Anyway the Marwaita GTK3 theme dev and me are actually discussing it on his Pling theme's page and he helped me to point out in terminal output the lack of lines about theme's loading by Double Commander. So the issue seems to come from something else than the theme itself. The investigation is on the way :)

Output:
$ doublecmd
XInitThreads: 1
[lines about theme loading should be here but there's nothing]

Great work, thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

Anyway I don't use it yet on my Ubuntu 19.04 because of incompatibility with my very favorite file manager (Double Commander aka. doublecmd-gtk, installed through apt, not by snap or appimage).
I don't understand what makes a dark theme work with this application or not but I see that Starlabs and Adwaita-dark are theming it perfectly. I don't know the difference with a theme like yours nor which files should be included or modified, sorry to be of no help.
Do you think that this issue with Double Commander could be fixed? I would be glad to use this theme as I really like it.

Here's a concrete example:

I've posted a message on application's forum to get more informations about the files to customize but nobody answered for now > https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5769 - Sep 12 2019

I don't remember why but I kept the habit to copy custom themes to ~/.local/share/themes in my old Ubuntu 16.04. But I kept a backup of this old system and browsing it today I see that I had created a ~/.themes symlink pointing to ~/.local/share/themes.
So I've tried to copy the Marwaita-Dark directory to ~/.themes on my current system, and... the magic happened !

Yes, yours looks fine. I'm jealous :)
Thanks a lot for your reactivity. Here is the terminal output (with nothing between "XInitThreads: 1" and "Starting GuiMessageQueue", weird):
