It sounds like you're using Nautilus

Yes, I'm using Nautilus... No way to fix them?

There's probably some special CSS classes that Nautilus uses, but I don't have any intention to include them in my theme

I see... Is there a qay to fix it and, hopefully, re-distubute it for all other nautilus users?

Unico engine is not needed in this last version?
So it says in the changelog, but the description says its needed, without detailing that.
I totally love this theme, but sadly it looks bad with nautilus in GS (i know, you don't support it anymore).

Yes Unico is required, it says in both the changelog and the description that it uses Unico.

Whats the wallpaper in the screenshot?

Since DanRabbit refuses to share the wallpaper with us, I went out on a quest to find it! And with a shitload of luck I actually found it: [link]

The progress bar could be better with diagonal lines.

Nice :] I Will install it soon. I hope the white text bug I have will not appear with this gtk theme on Precise.

"Dropped minimize from default config"
... then what do you do instead of minimizing a window? I didn't get it with Shell.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I wrote a post about it here: [link]

It explains why was the minimize disabled (can be confused with "close on the dock"), but it doesn't explain exactly what is the user expected to do instead of minimizing to hide an application from view without having to shut it down.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it does, in the second half. The answer is simply to close the app. It should launch quickly and remember where you left off. There is no reason to keep the app running if you're not actually using it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...Unless your computer is slow and cannot afford to close and open programs once and over again. Plus, most programs do not store the current state on exit.

This is something we'll have to continue to actively work on with app developers

Indeed, some people purchase crappy computers, *on purpose*, because of immaterial and difficult-to-keep abstract concepts, like for example "freedom".

You can still minimize from your taskbar/dock/panel of choice.
You can read here for the thought process behind dropping minimize: [link]

Hello there!
Just wondering whether the latest incarnation of this theme is compatible with Gnome 2? Been fiddling with it but can only get the metacity borders working... Is this now a GTK3 only theme?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It should still be compatible with GTK 2 as long as you have the Murrine engine.

I have this issue (up:as root, down: as user):

The main-toolbar only shows a gradient when I run nautilus as root.

You have to copy the theme on /usr/share/themes/ and choose it.
To do this open the terminal and type sudo gnome-tweak-tool and choose the theme.

I have a problem of selection rectangles and certain progress bars being completely white in GTK3/gnome-shell:
[link]
[link]
And also some mixup of dark and light themes, as demonstrated in gnome-sushi, dark background with dark text.
[link]
Am I the only one having this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The progress bar bit should be fixed.
There's no dark theme support yet, so this looks like a Sushi bug for trying to force a dark style and not changing the text color.

I made some fix on this theme so we can use it until eOS Luna come out. It is only for gtk3 and in particulary unity.
This is the theme: [link]

How Can i install elementary in Ubuntu 11.10? I read that it is compatibile with GTK3. I put theme in ~/.themes/egtk/, but all i get is the classic gray Windows 98 like apperance. Can you help me? Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I think I figured it out.
You need to install bzr first (by typing "sudo apt-get install bzr" in terminal). Once you get bzr installed, type "bzr branch lp:egtk" to download the necessary files. After that you can find the folder "egtk" in your home folder. Copy that folder to ".themes" in your home folder (press Ctrl+H to show hidden files & folders), replace any files if necessary. Then you can apply it using the gnome-tweak-tool.
Somehow the download here is lacking a few important files for use in GTK3, causing the issue.

Make sure the package 'gtk2-engines-murrine' is installed. With the version update, Dan dropped the Aurora engine for Murrine.

Same issue here. I do have gtk2-engines-murrine installed.
