Linux Gnome Desktop Theme... Murrine meets Equinox on this excursion. Some images used - mainly transparent total image weight 9.4 kb... Runs with or without menubar applets - better with nautilus elementary... very flexible as the colours are changeable via the usual channels.
Any questions? Happy to help...
Enjoy Last changelog:
WED NOV 03 : Increased xy padding...
Updated 5.20pm Wed 3'rd November fixed zip folder structure will install normally now.
wed 3rd nov 9.15pm :
new gtkrc with different tabs added a few changes for usability old gtkrc (screen shot 2) still included.
Fri 5th Nov updated version- 2 hard coded color schemes and a new metacity -seems like all the glitches are gone. 3 new shots. Think this is about final. Unless I get some bug reports. Symbolic color coded for versatility.
Mon 8'th Nov Full Fat Final Release : Breadcrumbs - custom Notebook, Gtkrc rewrite, New Metacity.
Mon 15.Nov 2010 updated checkradio button style to deal with a legibility issue.
I like this version - good job but I seem to have a problem with check buttons. When set to true their captions render as white text on the light grey background making them difficult to read.
On a quick personal note, I changed the panel background image to one which mimicked the window titlebar. The original one just seemed not to fit with the theme. Voted up.
Thank's for letting me know I'll be update shortly but in the mean time...
Here is a solution that works for me - Please try it out I edited the radio check style as follows:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
style "radiocheck" = "button" {
text[NORMAL] = @selected_fg_color#shade (0.535, @selected_bg_color)
text[PRELIGHT] = @selected_fg_color#shade(1.06, shade (0.535, @selected_bg_color))
bg[NORMAL] = shade (0.92, @bg_color)
bg[PRELIGHT] = @selected_bg_color #mix (0.2, @selected_bg_color, shade(1.1, @bg_color))
fg[INSENSITIVE] = darker (@bg_color)
fg[ACTIVE] = @active_color
engine "murrine" {
contrast = 1.0
reliefstyle = 3
border_shades = {0.6,0.2}
border_colors = {"#ededed","#d1d1d1"}
textstyle = 2
focusstyle = 2
}
}
widget_class "*<GtkRadioButton>*" style:highest "radiocheck"
widget_class "*<GtkCheckButton>*" style:highest "radiocheck"
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know how that works out for you thanks :)
Hi i decompress it and it doesnt work.
I have to make a folder named gtk-2.0
inside your folder and copy the gtkrc file in this folder.
i use archlinux.
Sorry for my english
Try it now please I just repacked and reloaded
the archive.
if you have the old zip you need to make a folder entitled gtk-2.0 and then just drop in the gtkrc file and image folder.
Thanks :)
If you would like a stronger contrast on the selected tab text:
open up the gtkrc file in a text editor and change the value of the active tab to @base color

One of the best themes lately and that's saying a lot as we have been spoiled recently.
Thanks V much H the tricky part with this theme was getting the contrasting text co-ordinated..
If you would like a stronger contrast on the selected tab text: open up the gtkrc file in a text editor and change the value of the active tab to @base color
Thanks for the tip. Seems fine so far though.
