Gnome Toolbar Colour

Started using Gnome now, and just have a few questions. I've installed some themes, those being:

 

Controls = E17

Window Border = Unity

Icons = Vista-Inspirate

 

but for some reason, my toolbar always remains "grey". Is there any way it can be changed? I couldn't find a way. If it's controlled by a theme, what component controls it?

 

I can do it in KDE no problems, just wondered what did it in Gnome.

I guess you are talking about the gnome-panel?

You need a .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home dir with this in it

style "panel"
{
 fg[NORMAL]					= "#ffffff"
#  fg[PRELIGHT]				= "#000000"
 fg[ACTIVE]					= "#ffffff"
#  fg[SELECTED]				= "#000000"
#  fg[INSENSITIVE]				= "#8A857C"

 bg[NORMAL]					= "#000000"
#  bg[PRELIGHT]				= "#dfdfdf"
#  bg[ACTIVE]					= "#D0D0D0"
#  bg[SELECTED]				= "#D8BB75"
#  bg[INSENSITIVE]				= "#EFEFEF"

# base[NORMAL]				= "#ffffff"
#  base[PRELIGHT]				= "#EFEFEF"
#  base[ACTIVE]				= "#D0D0D0"
#  base[SELECTED]				= "#DAB566"
#  base[INSENSITIVE]			= "#E8E8E8"	

#  text[NORMAL]				= "#161616"
#  text[PRELIGHT]				= "#000000"
#  text[ACTIVE]					= "#000000"
#  text[SELECTED]				= "#ffffff"
#  text[INSENSITIVE]				= "#8A857C"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel"
widget_class "*MenuItem*" style "panel"
class "*MenuItem*" style "panel"

 

I changed bg[NORMAL] to black because you said it was black, but change that to whatever color best blends the applet into your color or wallpaper, if transparent.

class "*Panel*" style "panel"
widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel"
class "*notif*" style "panel"
class "*Notif*" style "panel"
class "*Tray*" style "panel"
class "*tray*" style "panel"

You also might want to add the above to the other classes like

widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel"
widget_class "*MenuItem*" style "panel"
class "*MenuItem*" style "panel"
class "*Panel*" style "panel"
widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel"
class "*notif*" style "panel"
class "*Notif*" style "panel"
class "*Tray*" style "panel"
class "*tray*" style "panel"

 

If it messes anything up just comment out and do;

killall gnome-panel
