This is about Funtoo Linux 4.8.7-gentoo-kernel and xfce 4.12.1-r1

After another installation of Funtoo Linux, there was an unpleasant surprise - themes were installed only for gtk3, part of the interface (controls) in xfce4 plugins was drawn without controls. To be more precise, only text was drawn. Although the order of installing Linux was carried out on fresh manuals, and not much different from what I did a couple of years ago, while not having the problems described.

    The assumption is that some of the xfce4 plugins still require the gtk2 library, but for some reason this was lost in dependencies. This was the cause of the described problem. Installing the following packages solved the problem:

    emerge x11-themes/gtk-engines emerge x11-themes/gtk-engines-flat

    Moreover, it became possible to use the "old" topics.

    I understand that the question pulls a little at the "revelation", but maybe someone will save 15-30 minutes of thinking. The number of questions asked online on this topic is a confirmation of this.

    Now everything is fine:
