Gnome-Color-Chooser

Hello.

I've seen that Gnome-color-chooser doesn't work well.

For people who gnome-color-chooser doesn't work :

     Gnome-Color-Chooser create a ".gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser" file in your home, rename it in ".gtkrc-2.0" and it will work.

But I still search why this file is created and because this doesn't work.

It where also great if people that have and haven't problem can give me precision and say me if they use a program that modify the .gtkrc-2.0 file, like LXAppearance.

Thanks.

Re: Gnome-Color-Chooser

if you are using LXAappearance you have to rename your ordinary .gtkrc-2.0 to

.gtkrc-2.0.mine

and include this line in .gtkrc-2.0 :

include "~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"

as you would be able to read in the .gtkrc-2.0 after having used LXAppearance:

# DO NOT EDIT!  This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine

The same goes for Gnome-Color-Chooser. I have this in my ".gtkrc-2.0.mine" file, but it would probably work if you place it in the ".gtkrc-2.0" instead:

include "~/.gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser"

This works for me. I hope it works for you too.

Re: Gnome-Color-Chooser

Thanks.
I'm the maintainer of Gnome-color-chooser in AUR, and I have received message that gnome-cc doesn't work. I'am trying to know why (I supposed that editing gtkrc-2.0 with a other app remove the include) and how to correct this. Your methode works fine, and I suppose that is the solution.
Do you use gnome-color-chooser ?

Re: Gnome-Color-Chooser

Yes, I do. I run Xfce and I use Gnome-color-chooser to set the color of the Xfce window theme. It works fine. I've tried it in gnome too and it works as it should as far as I know.
