I was reading the Fedora 24 Beta release announcement, and this snippet is a bit inaccurate: "This new release also features GNOME 3.20. There have been changes to the theming API in GTK+ 3. At this time the API is under heavy development and will not remain stable." While GTK+ 3.20 did significantly change the theming API, it should be much more stable from now on. Or in other words, the theming API was considered unstable till now, but should be stable going forward. I don't know the best way to report this, so I am just mentioning it here in the hope that the right people will notice. Other than that it looks great! Cheers, Rishi
