xfwm-compact and xfwm-a11y not correctly installed

[m4u9]

I noticed that the xfwm-compact and xfwm-a11y no longer show up in the window manager theme settings. I think it's because they are installed in the wrong path. Can anybody confirm?

I have the same problem on Xubuntu 21.10. It looks like the problem exists in Debian Sid as well. Both versions are 3.22.15-1.
Here's my work around:

mkdir -p ~/.themes/Greybird-accessibility
mkdir -p ~/.themes/Greybird-compact
mkdir -p ~/.themes/Greybird-dark-accessibility
ln -s /usr/share/themes/Greybird-accessibility/xfwm4-a11y ~/.themes/Greybird-accessibility/xfwm4
ln -s /usr/share/themes/Greybird-compact/xfwm4-compact ~/.themes/Greybird-compact/xfwm4
ln -s /usr/share/themes/Greybird-dark-accessibility/xfwm4-a11y ~/.themes/Greybird-dark-accessibility/xfwm4

I think I identified the issue in the meson file at https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/blob/master/light/meson.build#L70

Currently:
install_subdir('xfwm4-a11y', install_dir : a11y_theme_path)

should instead be:

install_subdir('xfwm4-a11y', install_dir : join_paths (a11y_theme_path, 'xfwm4'))

I will run some tests and then push a commit

The issue is still present in Xubuntu Core 22.04 with the latest updates. Below, you can see that paths of the first 3 "Greybird-" themes are not ending with xfwm4 dir - these themes are not showing in the window manager theme settings:

The workaround provided by @paulstodghill solves it.

This should be resolved by #318.
