I just installed geany-1.24.1 on my Slackware 14.1 x86_64 system. I had set my /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file to point to the oxygen-gtk theme. Geany seemed to be using a lot of memory and cpu time, causing my cpu fan to start whirring. Geany was also very slow in the preferences configuration dialog. This had never happened with geany before. I reset the etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to point to Clearlooks-Classic and geany quieted down and the preferenced dialog seemed to be normal again. Maybe there is something in the interface handling of themes that needs some attention.

Or maybe simply oxygen-gtk simply needs to be fixed. Geany does nothing special regarding any theme and has very few app-specific themes -- yet all using the standard GTK ways. And in the preference dialog we don't do any theme-related stuff AFAIK.

Anyway, oxygen-gtk has a long history of breaking at least with Geany, and it is the only theme that was reported doing such a thing. And honestly, I'm not so surprised that it is a bit broken, as it is "a port of the Oxygen theme to GTK", so I wouldn't be surprised to learn it's full of hacks.

All this said, if someone wants to take the time to find out what's the real problem with oxygen-gtk, and if it indeed shows there's something we do that's problematic and that's 100% not the theme fault, we probably would be happy to fix such a thing. We just believe it's oxygen-gtk's fault (again, that's the only theme anybody reported problematic) and unfortunately don't have time or willingness to debug such probably subtle issue in that theme ourselves.
