From my brief use of gnome-themes-standard-git from the Arch User Repository, the thing that stood out the most to me was the (though attractive at first) somewhat long transition from the normal to pressed state. In my view it made interaction seem less responsive or immediate, due to the duration of the transition, and they began to be annoying to me.

I propose two not necessarily mutually-exclusive options that *I* would feel remedy the problem:

    - Reduce the transition duration altogether

    - Use a shorter transition duration from normal to :active states, and a longer one from :active to normal

Thank you for reading despite the possibly off-putting title
