tyme Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 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!

Qchem Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 mmmm - themes!!! Thanks for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 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. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) 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 Edited June 15, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJ Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 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.

bvc Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJ Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 (edited) no, to get them to show up I had to extract them. Getting them to work is another story.

bvc Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 :lol: *cough .themes/Fingel/gtk-2.0/iconrc was pixmap_path "/usr/share/themes/Fingel/gtk-2.0/stock" is 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJ Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
