Free gtk 2.0 change theme 0.3.1 software for linux

Not another MAC theme 0.1 provides you with a nice theme for GNOME users. It is actually a mix of all the MAC OS X GTK themes.

GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment the graphical user interface which sits on top of a computer operating system entirely from free software. This goal covers creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.

Requirements:

• GNOME

gtk-theme-prefs is a GTK+ theme manager, written using Gtk2-Perl. There are already a number of pure GTK+ theme managers.

This one differs from the others in that it fairly closely follows the GNOME HIG, and uses Glade.

libgtksourceviewmm is a C++ binding of GtkSourceView, a text widget that extends the standard gtk+ 2.x text widget.
libgtksourceviewmm improves the gtk+ text widget by implementing syntax highlighting
and other features typical of a source editor.
GtkSourceViewMM integrates well in the gtkmm framework and philosophy.
Enhancements:
[Dodji Seketeli]
- updated API documentation
- properly install gtksourceviewmm.h into$prefix/include/gtksourceviewmm-1.0.
- fix a crasher in tests/test-search.cpp
[Yselkowitz]
- #423990 better multiplatform support

The GTK-Qt Theme Engine is a project allowing GTK to use Qt widget styles.
Gtk-Qt Theme Engine behaves like a normal GTK theme engine, but calls functions from Qt instead of doing the drawing itself.
Version restrictions:
- Due to an incompatibility between Qt and the GNOME window manager, some parts of GNOME will not be themed by Qt.
- The theme will run fine under GNOME, but the logout box and window border menus will appear blank.
- It appears that the only way to overcome this bug is by patching Qt itself.

MetaTheme is a project dedicated to unification of appearance between
different graphics toolkits, such as GTK and QT.
The program is designed as a thin layer between toolkits and theme engines, creating unified API by which each theme engine can draw. The result is that every application uses the same code for drawing, making the appearance same across different applications. MetaTheme also adjusts behaviour a bit, so the overall effect of unification is impressive.
Some applications have their own toolkits which are used only by themselves. Cardinal examples of such applications are Mozilla, Firefox and OpenOffice. They provide support for pixmap themes, and popular themes exists for them.
Though as they are pixmap based, you cant easily change how they look. Particularly, its quite impossible to change color theme. Not everyone likes the default. Also, the behaviour of these toolkits is unaffected, so the application may behave differently than other applications.
There is planned support for Firefox (and maybe Mozilla too) in future. For
OpenOffice, you can at least try the KDE integration build of it.
Main features:
- supported toolkits:
- GTK2
- QT/KDE
- Java/SWING
- theme engines:
- Redmond 2000
- Plastik
- Plastik XP
- Industrial
- Flat
- easy installation

gnome-themes is a GNOME theme manager.

All the a11y themes in this module inherit from the gnome theme. The gnome theme is in the gnome-icon-theme module, and has to be built and installed separately.

1. Editing the gtkrc files

The gtkrc.in files for each a11y theme are currently generated by autogen.sh. Each gtkrc.in file is the concatenation of these files:

$theme/gtk-2.0/$theme.rc
common/gtk-stock-icons.rc
common/panel-stock-icons.rc
common/media-stock-icons.rc
common/capplet-stock-icons.rc

It follows that you should NOT edit gtkrc.in directly. Instead, edit the appropriate .rc file, then re-autogen before building. This obviously kind of sucks, but it was the only way I could get it to work at the time :/

2. Adding new icons

The module is currently configured to make it easy to add or remove a stock icon from all themes at once, but not so easy to do so on a per-theme basis. This works well for now but probably wont if we want to make this a more general theme repository.

So, to add a new gtk stock icon to all themes:

- Add the icons filename to common/all-stock-items.data
- Add the line you want to appear in the themes RC files to the appropriate common/*.rc file
- Add the icon files, each with the same filename, to all the /pixmaps/ directories.

GNOME icons that are themed via the icon theming mechanism (as specified on freedesktop.org) are currently still added individually in each < theme >/icons subdirectory. E.g. to add a new 48x48 application icon to all the themes, you have to modify each < theme >/icons/48x48/apps/Makefile.am individually, and add the appropriate icon file to each < theme >/icons/48x48/apps directory.

3. Changing icon sizes

The icon sizes for ALL the LargePrint themes are defined in configure.in. Changing them here will affect all LargePrint themes.

4. Changing colours

To change the colours in a particular theme, edit its /gtk-2.0/ .rc file.

5. Switching icon themes

In 2.2 and later, use gnome-theme-manager, and choose the Icon theme from the Details subdialog.

In earlier versions of GNOME, unless youre running my patched theme switcher dialog (patch in bugzilla,
#93486), youll need to switch icon themes by hand using GConf:

$ gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme " " --type=string

6. To create low contrast icons in GIMP from the original coloured icon

Use the low-contrast-preset.scm GIMP script in this directory to create a low contrast icon from a regular-coloured icon. (Read the comments in the script for instructions on how to install and use it.) Thanks to Guillermo for providing this!

Note: In GIMP, Input=0/0.6/255, Output=75/255 seems to give results closer to the icons Suzanna converted in Photoshop, but plugging these values into this script seems to give different results from doing it manually in the Levels dialog :/

wmThemeCh is a dockapp to change your Window Maker theme/background with categories. Left-click changes between themes belonging to the current category.

Right-click changes the category. You can optionally ask wmThemeCh to change the theme periodically.
