GTK doesnt seem to have any good way of how to handle themes. I have these
.gtkrc files:
[iocc@flashdance iocc]$ ll .gtkrc*
-rw-r--r-- 1 iocc 218 Dec 4 2004 .gtkrc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 iocc 133 Dec 7 2004 .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2
-rw-r--r-- 1 iocc 247 Dec 4 2004 .gtkrc-2.0
[iocc@flashdance iocc]$ cat .gtkrc
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
#include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk/gtkrc"
#include "/usr/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/usr/share/themes/Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
[iocc@flashdance iocc]$ cat .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2
# Autowritten by gnome-settings-daemon. Do not edit
include "/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk/gtkrc"
include "/home/iocc/.gtkrc.mine"
[iocc@flashdance iocc]$ cat .gtkrc-2.0
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
#include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk/gtkrc"
#include "/usr/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/usr/share/themes/Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT

.gtkrc-2.0 did I create myself because i cant use xchat without emacs
bindings. .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 is probably autocreated by something, dunno.
.gtkrc is mostly used I guess. Problem is... Some gtk programs says that
its broken:
[iocc@flashdance iocc]$ xmms
/usr/share/themes/Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:11: error: unexpected identifier
`GtkWidget', expected character `}'
for example. I have had this for like 8 months now. I wonder how it can be
fixed? Glider was included in FC3 that is running on this box. I havent
modified Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. I get no themes in xmms ofcourse.
An other note, the themes included in FC3 is very similar. They dont differ
much at all. Wouldnt it be better to include themes that most people would
like to have (like MacOS X style Aqua for example?) and maybe a bit more,
maybe in FC5? It doesnt take much space.
Personally I think they are quite ugly the one that are included by
default. Is there anywhere to download new themes? It doesnt matter that
much how it looks, its fine as long that they doesnt annoy me. Like
GIGANTIC font, bizarr colors or so...
