Strange things hapends when trying to customize the windows appearance themes in Zorin 8 Lite. I tried to change the theme to some darker than what Zorin Light is and selected some other themes there that was more ok. I looked the made selections opening some application windows and hapend to find out that in a game "mines" the grid disappeared totally in all other selections than Zorin Light. So those could not be used.
I tried then another option and used "Customized color schemes", It worked better, until now I got the grid also to "mines". I made at the same time a new theme selection to Icons from "GNOME" to "Humanity", and I was finally almost satisfied to the result. However when I looked the panel so there was something strange. Volume control, net connection and shut down icons was almost disappeared and invisible having now only the light gray color on those icons.
What to do then? I tried to restart but that did not change anything. Then I changed back the icon theme to GNOME and got back the icons to normal. The question here is, how to know what works or not because different softwares are not tested to work together in these distros. I have had similar issue in Zorin 8 Core with system monitor/resources and with AWN panel. There also the grid and panel items disappears now and then. Both os.es are updated and now we are waiting for a new LTS release, just when everything seems to be working little better. Look can now be better but the feel doesn't. I hope that it doesn't lead to a situation where we have to start everything from beginning again.
