k...I give up...
what is all that? (the gtk, or is that the app skin and not gtk?)
-
you can get both here
-
firefox is not gtk, but rather gdk>gtk so I guess that's why it looks fine
the only thing I can think of you doing (I don't have kde installed) is making a gtk theme with the colors you want and telling gain and any other apps you desire to use that theme. You can do that in gnome easily but I don't know if it works from kde....I think it should
In your .gtk-2.0 file in your home dir (create it if it doesn't exist) put
GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.themes/name_of_theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc gaim
to point to a theme in .themes
for a theme in /usr/share/themes
GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/name_of_theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc gaim

arctic, the reason the earlier version is dark
http://gnomethemes.org/pre/screenshots/Mirage2.jpg
is because it uses the color specified in the gtkrc's metacity section
style "metacity-frame" = "default" { bg[SELECTED] = "#444444" } class "MetaFrames" style "metacity-frame" class "GtkWindow" style "metacity-frame"Since Clearlooks DeepSky doesn't have that section it uses the
bg[sELECTED] = "#??????"
at the top of the gtkrc.

Sweet. :) How about a dark version for those who prefer dark desktops (not me)? Just an idea, after the high voting the ATER theme got...
done it already
have something else in mind?
ATER is at gnome-look, if you're looking for an explaination for silly voting ;)
-
just tinkering with another way of doing a metacity to look good with the Mirage gtk engine
-
of course the first thing to do is run the browsers from a terminal and see if you get any output errors
firefox > errors.txt
-
start X with gdm, kdm, and startx from init 3, log the results of
ps aux | grep "[X]"
every 10 minutes for 1 hour??? for all three logins after reboots. If the results suck with gdm, give them those results and ask them to explain themselves.

look at it this way.....Amazing how you guys changing themes continously :DMy Desktop(s) I keep at least for a year (minimum) and trying to perfection it
if I didn't, you wouldn't have d3a :P
...someone has to do it :D
-
hmm...a lot of issues with doing that kind of upgrade? yuk! What happened? I did it for years. Urpmi? repos? pkg's?
...bummer!
-
nice!...but torture!...it's hot here :D
looks like I need to make the shadows on the buttons more transparent. I can't go tooo far because it is intended for dark titlebars but.....I'll test....
what gtk is that so I can get that color for testing?
-
gdm has been known to do that....My current icon theme is glass icons. My metacity/gtk2 is "brushed", and my wallpaper is just a basic gnome one.Quite like the icons on my desktop though ;)
See show your desktop this month, my screenie is in there, so unsure if I'm using anything svg based or not.
Unfortunately, can't change my nvidia card as it's a laptop, so I'm kinda stuck with it. Works perfect at home with this exact setup on my nvidia geforce 4 ti4400, which of course, is by far better with 128M ram on it.
I'm running a test this morning, as I said I would. Login Manager is kdm, and I've logged into Gnome to see what happens.
I had a mem problem long ago....ML9.1? and never found the problem, so I went cooker :P
-the glass icons are svg but svg alone won't cause this
-video card alone will not cause this
-the gtk theme uses a bg pixmap and that is very slow
...I was just mentioning a few speed up tips
I didn't use a dm for years, but started using gdm recently because it was the only way I could get other users to be able to login....would not work from init 3 :o

Yes, the idea that gnome is lighter than kde is a thing of the past.
cairo won't use much memory, but it does slow the desktop down
lsof -n /usr/lib/libcairo.s
turn off nautilus makes gnome twice as fast.
gconf-editor>apps>nautilus>preferences>untick show_desktop
oh yeah...and to start nautilus as brower
nautilus --no-desktop --browser
spatial nautilus
nautilus --no-desktop
do not use an svg icon theme (tango for example) or a cairo based theme engine...examples...candido, rezlooks, murrine, mirage, clearlooks-devel (cvs)
X+nvidia+gnome+svg+cairo=slow
exactly why? no one particular reason, but many it seems

-
download color schemes and tango mod icons
-
that could have all been avoided with --prefix=/usr
./configure --prefix=/usr
unless of course you were trying to not overwrite something previously installed.
-
That's crazy, since you don't have a desktop without a panel....
run;
gnome-panel
from a terminal, if the command is not found then;
urpmi gnome-panel

moooo
got chicken?

i've never experienced that in the myriad of distro's I've used. i don't experience that in arch currently. i wonder if it's a mandriva issue.
must be mandriva, it was always fine for me until ml2005le

change is good but they sure need a ui designer. seems improvement would be part of the goal here, but at least there's movement!
