Has someone already done a square version of the metacity? I did a quick mod, I was just curious if anyone has done a complete mod, or if anyone else is interested in a square version. - Nov 05 2011

GTK2 Themes by bvc 9 comments

Sure no problem. I can see everything just fine. Change whatever you need.

Try downloading again. I guess the last pkg I tried to upload did not upload. Gimp fix wasn't there but should be now. Sorry about that and sorry it took so long to respond.

I don't know anything about thunderbird. If anyone knows the fix I'd be glad to update.

Gnome menu would be a big problem. I don't have it and no one else has said anything so....

Regarding the other things yang said....
insensitive menuitems were always like that. I don't know when other engines made it so we could control it but at least we can now. Still sad though.....having to use another engine just for insensitive text.

As far as I know there is still no way to control the black icon issue. - Jan 31 2011

Beryl/Emerald Themes by Padster 10 comments

Well yes, but unfortunately when you have no side borders the bottom border disappears, even though it is still set to 20. That really needs to be fixed. The bottom border reappears with 1px (how I have it now), but with a flaw in the bottom rt corner (I have not looked into this). To get rid of bad shadow, lower the opacity to 0.45-0.55%, the radius to around 10, and the X Offset to 0. - Dec 15 2010

LOL! Arrows were done pixel by pixel. I'm no pro :\. Thanks for noticing. Arrows have always been my weakest element IMO. I spent more time on them in Onux than any other theme. If I may ask, what do you not like about Onux? Lack of contrast? That seems to be the biggest complaint. - Dec 14 2010

GTK2 Themes by bvc 25 comments

No problem. It goes in the gtkrc. If you already have a style for 'ruler', either put it after the style and before the following style or put it at the very bottom of the gtkrc. Does that help?

style "ruler" = "default"
{
engine "pixmap" {

image
{
function = BOX
detail = "vruler"
file = "ruler.png"
border = { 2, 2, 2, 2 }
stretch = TRUE
}

image
{
function = BOX
detail = "hruler"
file = "ruler.png"
border = { 2, 2, 2, 2 }
stretch = TRUE
}

}
}
class "GtkRuler" style "ruler"
widget "*GimpRuler" style "ruler" - Dec 13 2010

can't get the rulers in gimp to display clearly. If anyone experiences this and has a clue how to fix it, I'd appreciate letting me know. I've tried several things, from different images to no image. - Dec 05 2010

I'm surprised too. It's probably because it's not flashy, but black/flashy is hard on the eyes and so not usable and I was going for usable. Thank you for noticing and saying so! - Jul 25 2007

Icon Sub-Sets by iamFIREcracker 50 comments

Inherits=
means, missing icons in your theme will be found in the other listed installed themes, in the order in which you put other themes.

So, for example, if you wanted the HighContrast theme icons to fill in what your theme is missing

Inherits=HighContrast

If HighContrast is missing icons and you wanted Tango to fill in what MinimalBlack and HighContrast is missing

Inherits=HighContrast,Tango

Notice no gap after coma.
Also, you have to use the
Name=
in the index.theme file.

Icon Sub-Sets by iamFIREcracker 50 comments

Thanks for the theme! Have you considered putting
Inherits=HighContrast
in the index file? Takes care of some mimetypes and such, until and or if you are going to make your own. - Jul 15 2007

Thx! Yes, the Smooth-japan was made to go with the E theme.

Did you put Smooth-japan in /usr/share/themes? If it doesn't work you might check the permissions. Or just put them in /home/ur_name/.themes - Jun 28 2007

I don't theme anymore. At least I have no desire to atm nor have I for a while now. This was once listed here for a very long time before and a few people mentioned wanting a gdm theme but no one ever made one. I don't use gdm, but startx from init 3. I agree it would be nice if someone made one. - May 20 2007
