libSwell: REAPER GUI disappears when using libSwell compiled to support GTK

[realbucksavage]

Hi,

I am trying to build libSwell so that REAPER can use my GTK3 theme (I'm using Gnome Shell 3 on Ubuntu Studio). The library compiled successfully but it seems that it causes REAPER to run without a GUI (can't even see the splash screen). I can confirm that REAPER is running because when I run it in a terminal, I can see the stdout content written by many plugins.

This is how I'm building libSwell:

make SWELL_SUPPORT_GTK=1

SWELL draws the GUI elements by itself on Linux. It doesn't use the GTK theme. The look and feel can be customized through the libSwell.colortheme file.

Thanks for the information 💯

Are there any resources that I can refer to customize the libSwell.colortheme file (preferably a theme library).

@realbucksavage Please check libSwell-user.colortheme .
