[SOLVED] Gnome doesn't apply the theme to new opened windows

Hi,

I'm using Gnome as desktop environment, but encountered a really annoying issue .

I want to change the theme and therefore do the following "Right click on desktop -> "Change desktop background" -> Theme -> "Darklooks". All opened windows (as well as the panels) get now dark, just as expected. But as soon as I open up a new windows (or add something to a panel) it doesn't get affected by the theme, but it is display with the standard bright grey. After changing the theme again (I have to choose another first, and then go back to "Darklooks") all "new" windows get dark also.

As I'm not happy with this situation I ask you for help? What is wrong with my Gnome?

Ok, managed to fix it, although it seems to be a bug, because it just appears with the "Darklooks" theme. I managed to fix it creating a customized version of the theme.

I furthermore found out that this bug is already reported: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540796
