[x11: theme] GTK+ 1 Theme Engines

dpb · 2004-06-23 12:03:22

Here's a few GTK theme engines to make your GTK apps prettier.

The make install didn't work when installing to $startdir/pkg/ with Xenophilia, so had to do it like this...

hmm interesting. but now how can I change the themes? thanks

dpb · 2004-06-23 13:43:00

pacman -S gtk-theme-switch

and then run 'switch' to change them.

zeppelin · 2004-06-24 13:00:16

well I had switch2..
I did that didn't seem to work.. [it showed the themes though!]
it could be, because I have a GTK2 theme (yacacier3) that has some gtk1 stuff (it makes the menus that are selected Blue) but nothing else, I try to see the diff with xmms or xchm [wxgtk] but doesn't work. any ideas ?

dp · 2004-06-24 13:33:45

make sure you do not mix gtk and gtk2 themes:
unfortunately switch and switch2 show all themes, but normally most of them are gtk2 (that's because they are all installed in one dir /usr/share/themes/)

however, if you want to change a gtk2-theme, you need switch2 and if you want to change a gtk1-theme, you need switch --- and you also must know what theme what gtk{1,2} is

xmms needs gtk1

zeppelin · 2004-06-24 18:00:00

yes but I want both gtk2 and gtk1 themes [for each app]
I'm using GNOME 2.6 [and it has Theme Details] there you can do some magical work [combine different themes]

the point is that eg I choose Flat [the one this PKGBUILD provides] and xmms just doesn't change.

I remember xmms having eyecandy menus in RedHat 8
I had SlackWare 9, 9.1 and now Arch(GNU)Linux and I never made it.. :{

I did switch and xmms just doesn't like it..

r u sure that switch2 is gtk2 only? [i mean it uses GTK2 it self but is it gtk2 only and switch1 uses gtk1 but is it for GTk1 themes only?]
both ways my system doesn't obey to those apps

dp · 2004-06-24 22:32:04

i wanted to check if my system acts the same ... indeed, it does:

switch does not change anything for all themes i have installed, except "6nome-sandy" theme that will change the colour of the widgets, but in the console keep telling me:

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libpixmap.so",

and if i apply this theme, it says

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkentry.c: line 440 (gtk_entry_set_text): assertion `text != NULL' failed.

this is indeed very strange --- has anybody managed to change the gtk1-theme on arch?

dp · 2004-06-24 23:12:10

i doubt that anyone managed, as i found out what happened:
we are missing the gtk-engines 0.12 (we have 2.2 that is for gtk2, but 0.12 is for gtk1)

i'm packaging it right now

dp · 2004-06-24 23:17:57

:-) ok, it works finally using switch to change gtk1 themes --- i will include gtk1-engines in extra soon

:-( unfortunately this:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkentry.c: line 440 (gtk_entry_set_text): assertion `text != NULL' failed.

stayed

zeppelin · 2004-06-25 00:37:49

well I saw your package. does it work now? xmms gets a better eyecandy in menus?
I avoid gtk1 like hell but wx* app wrap with it.. and not only those apps [but a lot of others too]

anyways, do you think you can add those themes too in extra?
thanks man!

ps. this says maintainer: None!

dpb · 2004-06-25 10:45:45

Strange. switch has worked for me all the time...

if this pkg is installed, switch works (only for gtk1-themes and gtk1+gtk2-themes, but not for gtk2-only-themes)

i'm checking what would be the best: either including only themes that work for gtk1 AND gtk2 or naming the pkgs that contain gtk1-stuff with gtk1-... instead of gtk-...
