Yes, that's right! A new gnome theme site has been launched, and it uses the same code as kde-look.org!

GNOME-Look.org

Check it out. I'm already seeing some themes I don't think I've seen before. Start up your screenshot program of choice and post in the Show Off Your Desktop thread!

I think the new website is a good idea, as the "updates" of art.gome.org were quite slow and the site didn't function for over 2 months now...
Although I work with kde and blackbox most of the time, I will take a look at gnome-look from time to time, just because I am interested.

yeah!!! buddy!!!
I downloaded and installed via drag and drop to the theme capplet dialog and not only did they not get installed/extracted.....they're nowhere to be found....lol.....ROTFL
(the tarballs that is....just gone.....to /null_never_land)

well there's a first for everything

I noticed that when I try the drag and drop with .tar.gz's it doesn't work, but with themes as .tar.bz2's it does... I don't know.

none/neither worked....and 3 gtk2 themes have crashed gnome forcing me to remame the theme so that the default will load. The themes keep looking for icon's that do not exist

. Are they working for you? Have a feeling these were done in gentoo based on the screenies with the gentoo icons.

I didn't see anything that said these were distro specific nor have I heard of such a thing

. Whoever did this obviously doesn't have a clue what they are doing. A shame....

ok wait.....the icons are there.....but says they are not....which usually mean it can't......but why?....they are .svg icons that come in the theme.

I think you need to make sure that if your draggin in a gtk theme, you have the "control" tab selected
and for icons the icon tab, and for metaciy the window tab

no, to get them to show up I had to extract them. Getting them to work is another story.
I'll try this

*cough

.themes/Fingel/gtk-2.0/iconrc
was

CODE

pixmap_path "/usr/share/themes/Fingel/gtk-2.0/stock"

CODE

pixmap_path "~/.themes/Fingel/gtk-2.0/stock"

so that got me further......they're all like that

I guess I could move them to /usr/share but.....

done for tonight

Jun 15 2004, 03:20 AM

Yeah, I knind think that setting the pixmap path like they do is kinda stupid. Something that points to the relative directory would be better, so they could be installed in either one, like...
pixmap_path "./stock"
or
pixmap_path "$THEME/stock"
