Metacity and GTK2 themes

[iphitus]

I've been looking for some GTK2 and Metacity themes for gnome. I just can't find the right combination and themes. Does anyone have a site other than art.gnome.org and themes.org with themes for these? Anyone got any reccomended combinations themes?

No Apple/Aqua themes thanks

 

Thanks in advance

I don't think GTK (1) themes work. If they do, how did you do it?

My commonly used apps are mainly GTK2

I'm using Gnome 2.2, MDK 9.1. I'm looking for some darker themes.

Thanks again!!!

It's not dark, but here's my fav (6nome)

For a dark metacity, have you tried Aero?

There's also gnome-themes-extras;

http://www.gnome.org/~uraeus/

but to have the latest you'll have to compile as the new rpms have deps that require gnome 2.3.3 (basically). Just get the tarball>uncompress it>cd to the source>./configure --prefix=/usr>make>and (as root) make install.

you can try src.rpms and rpms here;

....again, not realy anything dark....whuz up wi_dat? Unfortunately, freshmeat, themedepot, and art.gnome is it for gtk2 (that I know of).

 

 

I'm not going to get into gtk+1.2 because it seems to be getting lost in the shuffle now that gtk2 is maturing. I have many post that may help you but now, with gnome 2.2, what works for one user doesn't work for all, so it's touch and go. I will say that (if not already done so) the first thing to do is to remove /usr/bin/mandrakegalaxy from your running sessions. Go to your Preferences>Sessions>Current Session tab>highlight /usr/bin/mandrakegalaxy>Remove>Apply. 'Switch' or gtk-theme-switcher still works for most users.
