[Bug 1836975] Re: bluebird-gtk-theme 1.3-1 window borders incompatible with Cinnamon >= 3.8 and don't appear in the theme application menu

[Simon Quigley]

Hi Connor! Apologies for the delay in reviewing your patch.

Although Disco is EOL, I uploaded the patch to Eoan. I changed the
version number to 1.3-1ubuntu0.20.04.1, since 1.3-1ubuntu1 was already
uploaded to Groovy. Although this is something I don't particularly like
to nitpick on, please try to follow DEP-3 for patch headers in the
future. It makes it much more readable (by humans and machines). More
documentation is available here: https://dep-
team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/

I have unsubscribed ~ubuntu-sponsors, since there is nothing left to do.
Feel free to resubscribe us if further tweaks to the patch are required
before acceptance.

Thank you for your contribution!

Title:
  bluebird-gtk-theme 1.3-1 window borders incompatible with Cinnamon >=
  3.8 and don't appear in the theme application menu

Status in bluebird-gtk-theme package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in bluebird-gtk-theme source package in Disco:
  Won't Fix
Status in bluebird-gtk-theme source package in Eoan:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The Cinnamon package shipped in the Ubuntu 19.04 repositories is >=
  Cinnamon 3.8. This version of Cinnamon only supports window border
  themes which are metacity-3 compliant [1].

  The Bluebird theme's upstream git repository has already been updated
  with metacity-3 compliance [2] but this change has not made its way
  into the Ubuntu package.

  This means that while the package is installable, the theme will not
  be selectable in Cinnamon's Theme application for selecting window
  borders (it won't even appear as an option).

  [Test Case]

  Install `bluebird-gtk-theme`, open the "Themes" application and click
  on "Window Borders"

  Expected result: Bluebird window borders appear as an option, may be
  selected, and the window borders activate.

  Actual result: Bluebird window borders are absent from the window
  borders selection menu.

  [Regression Potential]

  This doesn't modify any of the rest of the theme, but only installs
  metacity-3 support. In using the theme I haven't experienced any
  oddities.
