you need more than 'File' 'Edit' 'View' etc...to know where the menubar is? :huh:

 

what metacity theme are you using? This is not somethng that can be changed with an option. You'll have to edit the theme or use another

 

 

No I just like the separation between the title bar and the menu bar. I really wish ALL bars were just on one single bar.

 

I do like the ish-smooth and ish-clearlooks, though :D

I do like the ish-smooth and ish-clearlooks, though  :D

for clearlooks you have a few quick controls

engine "clearlooks"
  {
   menubarstyle      	= 2       # 0 = flat, 1 = sunken, 2 = flat gradient
   menuitemstyle      = 1       # 0 = flat, 1 = 3d-ish (gradient), 2 = 3d-ish (button)
   listviewitemstyle  = 1       # 0 = flat, 1 = 3d-ish (gradient)
   progressbarstyle  	= 0       # 0 = candy bar, 1 = flat
 }
}

 

for ish, open the gtk-2.0/gtkrc and change

    menubarstyle      	= 2       # 0 = flat, 1 = sunken, 2 = flat gradient

to 0 or 1, and that'll give you more what you want...I think :D

bvc, I got 26678-ish.tar.gz from Gnome-looks.org. I extracted the file to ~/.themes; but they still don't show up. I restarted my laptop thinking maybe gnome needed to be restarted for them to show up; but still they do not show up in the System-Configuration-gnome-themes appelet. I tried dragging the tar to install it; but to no avail either. What am I doing wrong here? The folders for each of the themes is in the ~/.themes directory.

i don't know :unsure:

 

if the folders and the contents of the folders are in .themes then it should work

 

delete all ish* directories and try this one

http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/gtk/ish.tar.gz

I'll also re-upload at gnome-look incase anything funny is happening....with 100 downloads I'd think someone else would have said something by now though.

Well,

It is definitely something with my computer. I downloaded the new one and extracted it to the ./themes directory and still nothing. I must not have something right. I will be honest, I don't even know what the clearlooks / metacity stuff is about. I don't know which is loaded or how to find out. Maybe that has something to do with it. I did download a ASH theme and it worked fine. I am using it now. How could I check to find out what is not right with my themes?
