Details

Description:

The theme must be compiled with the gnome-shell version specified, otherwise it will lead to inconsistent behavior when updating before gnome-shell updates.

Additional info:
* version: 20210322
* upstream issue: https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/issues/569#issuecomment-815969573
* upstream build guide: https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Steps to reproduce:
1. press `Super + a` to open the application view in gnome shell;
2. drag any app to the right and empty workspace, so there will be 3 workspaces;
3. press `Esc` to enter the windows view, then see the workspaces thumbnails on the top.
This task depends upon

At least, it needs to rebuild on each new version of gnome-shell.

Since gnome-shell now also depends on gtk4, maybe materia theme should also? Seeing, as it's a shell theme?

Materia theme support gtk2, gtk3 and gtk4, but only the newest gnome-shell. It's not just a gnome-shell theme. Additionally, gtk themes are more akin to configuration files than separate software and do not depend on the existence of gtk.

Well yes, but since materia-theme auto-selects the correct version of GTK4 to support at build time (unless specified otherwise), GTK4 needs to be added as a make-depend, otherwise the theme will come out misconfigured because there will be no GTK4 in the buildroot (assuming that the Arch build servers use clean buildroots to build packages, which I very much assume...).

Right, so the real issue is that materia needs rebuild on gtk4 and gnome-shell update. Will need to coordinate with their maintainer.
