Gnome 2.0 has hit unstable, and all my carefully crafted settings blew up (it mumbled something about converting them, but the conversion failed; it'd be nice if it told you why...).
I've now got things halfway-sane again, and the major remaining irritation is the lack of any `dark' themes -- everything that shows up in the Themes control-center widget* is some minor variation on `MS Windows grey'. When I try to use one my old dark themes that worked with gnome 1 (by renaming the `gtk' subdir in the theme directory to `gtk-2.0'), they usually only half-work, e.g., lots of text is displayed as black-on-dark-grey or something similarly unreadable. However, I don't know whether the problem lies with the them or with buggy apps (I've encounted many apps before that use the wrong fg color, which is only noticable if you've got a theme very different from the default), so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a `dark' theme that's been approved for use with gnome 2.0, or that at least works for somebody... * I've got the following gtk2 theme engine packages installed: i gtk2-engines-crux - GTK+2.0 Crux theme engine i gtk2-engines-lighthouseblue - LighthouseBlue theme for GTK+ 2.0 i gtk2-engines-metal - Metallic theme for GTK+ 2.x i gtk2-engines-mist - A flat theme for GTK+ 2.x i gtk2-engines-pixbuf - Pixbuf-based theme for GTK+ 2.x i gtk2-engines-thinice - ThinIce theme for GTK+ 2.0 Thanks, -Miles -- Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
