I’m having the same issue as here, but I can’t figure out how to disable hardware acceleration to test the solution from that thread.
I would be grateful if someone pointed me in the right direction, thanks.
Are you using gnome or xfce, because you tagged both? If it is gnome it is in the latest announcement. If not - try changing the theme.
If you are in fact using Gnome, please see:
…as mentioned in the [Stable Update] 2024-08-20 announcement thread, and as @Teo previously suggested.
The Announcements category should be your first port-of-call whenever you discover an issue that might be related to an update.
Cheers.

No, I am not using gnome, I’m on XFCE, not sure why it tagged gnome, if I did it, it must have been an accident.
I have tried to change the theme to dark one and it had no effect.
Thanks for changing it.
I’m a KDE user, and haven’t used XFCE in a long while; but typically, if you’re using the default themes there should not be an issue.
Someone else with recent and specific XFCE experience might have something more useful to add, at this point.
Cheers.
If you wish to experiment with other themes, searching through XFCE/XFWM4 Themes might produce some worthwhile results.
This is a theme I recall using myself (or a variant of it) on XFCE. It was neat and clean.
Try one of the Matcha themes. I am on xfce using Matcha-dark-sea and pamac looks fine. It is not likely to be a hardware acceleration issue.
I switched to matcha-dark-sea and it had no effect. On the issue, that is.
I haven’t noticed any changes in the appearance of Pamac with any of these theme changes so maybe something else is wrong?
Pamac Manager uses Adwaita by default, I think (in XFCE). Is it only Pamac-Manager you’re having issues with? You’re using pamac-gtk3, right?
sudo pacman -S pamac-gtk3
If it asks to replace another version, choose Yes.
Issue was that pamac was apparently outdated. Thanks for the help everyone
:: pamac-gtk3-10.6.0-4 and pamac-gtk-11.7.1-3 are in conflict. Remove pamac-gtk? [y/N] y
No. pamac-gtk uses the GTK4 theming and pamac-gtk3 uses GTK3. Manjaro uses pamac-gtk3 in XFCE by default to maximise theme compatibility (guess), among other things. So, the theme you’re using is GTK3 (in XFCE), being that GTK4 theming is more commonly used in Gnome.
Enjoy.

@J3ster You might want to take a look at my guide to the whole theming mess on xfce

Manjaro Xfce 23.0 ISOs released 2023-09-03 included pamac-gtk3
If OP used an outdated ISO to install Manjaro Xfce they should check other Known Issues and Solutions in Stable Update Announcements
