Ubuntu :: Gtk Theme Not Working After Install New Engine?
Oct 31, 2010
Ubuntu 10.10 My wife wanted to use a new gtk-theme so she used the option "download more themes" and installed a new gtk-theme. The theme was not vissible for her so she just chose another default one. Now when ever either of us login into our accounts the default internal gtk-theme is used (the ugly grey square one). When we start the themes application (don't know the english name for it, it enables you to choose another theme for your desktop). The previously selected theme is then enabled even before the window of the util is shown.

Yesterday, after installing suggested updates since I last updated a few weeks ago, themes are broken. I am using 10.04 Lucid, now running 2.6.32-24. (Booting the previous kernel did not help.)
After rebooting, I noticed that the login screen had less attractive widgets, which persisted after I logged in. Opening the Appearance Preferences, there were no themes listed. There are a bunch of them in /usr/share/themes. If I copy the Ambiance folder from there to ~/.themes, it will appear in the dialog; but when selected, the Window Border changes, while the Controls do not.
If I run gedit from the shell, I get these messages:
Code:
There was no GTK_PATH environment variable. (Where does it and GTK_MODULES get set globally?) I tried setting it to /usr/lib, but that had no effect.
It looks like a problem finding and/or loading the required files? Permissions? Dependencies?

I typed this cmd : sudo ln -s /home/user_name/.themes /root trying to link themes to root so that apps run as root would use the theme. However, now i can't run nautilus from a terminal i get this: sudo nautilus (nautilus:3229): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks",
(nautilus:3229): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I'm using F11 KDE 4.3** and I'm getting display errors in Firefox 3.5's widgets when I set Gtk apps' themes to match KDE's by using the Gtk-Qt theme engine. Has anyone else experienced this issue (detailed in the following screenshot)
As you can clearly see things look like crap. Any way to make things less crappy?

I installed a theme in emerald, and it didn't do anything, like, it had no effect on my windows or anything. So i did some searching and the only thing i could find was to run "emerald --replace" in the terminal, and it worked, but if I exit out of the terminal, it reverts back to the old theme.How do I keep emerald's theme, even after I exit the terminal?

I've seen a number of instructions online that say to add either the elementary art ppa or the murrine daily ppa to get the 0.98 murrine engine installed. I did that but it only installs 0.91. I checked synaptic to see if I can force the version to install, but still, no dice. 0.91 is the highest version I can seem to install.
I also tried compiling from source, which appeared to run w/o any issues, but I must be missing something because it appears to not have any affect.

i am having a boot problem with opensuse.i installed a theme named suse-elegant under personal settings(configure desktop)-system administration-login screen.
i had also added vbox users(i ticked vboxusers) under yast-security and users-user and group management-edit-details to make virtual box work.
i want to check that installed theme so i restarted my laptop.after the restart opensuse taking too long time to boot
note:the login theme also not working.
after the boot i restored defaults in login screen themes.it is also not working.
i don't know which cause this problem(vboxusers or login theme).i am also seeing a root user has been added in my login area.i tried opensuse failsafe also.

I've looked through the forums and found that installing openmotif may fix my problem. I tried it but to no avail. Here is my challenge, I'm trying to install Grid Engine on my VMWare fedora installation. I get this dependency error:
Quote:
rpm -i sun-sge-bin-linux24-x64-6.2-5.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libXm.so.3()(64bit) is needed by sun-sge-bin-linux24-x64-6.2-5.x86_64
libXp.so.6()(64bit) is needed by sun-sge-bin-linux24-x64-6.2-5.x86_64
sun-sge-common = 6.2 is needed by sun-sge-bin-linux24-x64-6.2-5.x86_64
I installed the latest version of openmotif and when I do a search for the two files, there is no libxm.so.3 but libxp.so.6 is there. When I try to install the rpm again I still get the exact same error.

I was using ubuntu normaly until yesterday. Today when i turned on my laptop its theme was this way:[url]
When i first turn it on, the main panel (where stays "Applications", "Places" and "System") was this color too! But then i just opened System -> Preferences -> Appearance and it self-fixed, without selecting any option, just opening Appearance window.
But the rest of this stuff (like right-click menu and folders) is still messed up!

Every time I choose a theme in this thing, the system never switches over to it. Am I supposed to log out, then log back in again to enable the newly installed .emerald themes? I tried running "emerald --replace", but my system just screws up once I do that: The window decorations completely remove themselves and I am stuck with uncontrollable windows.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 in Classic mode.

I am using Arch with Gnome 2.32 installed a couple weeks before Gnome 3 was out. And this means I use GTK 2 themes for GTK apps (if I'm not mistaken...). I have some awesome theme which I modified and my WM is IceWM, so it's just for GTK programs. And I don't wanna switch this theme to any other. So the question is: if I update Gnome 2 to Gnome 3, will my current GTK theme stop working? I won't update any piece of software untill the strong need, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to use my fave GTK 2 theme with newest Gnome.

I try to use equinox revolution light them with nautilus elementary but I notice the context menu is not correct (right click menu). There should be a drop down shadow on the context menu but mine seem not having that. If I use with default nautilus, it was ok. Please see the screen shot attached. The context menu has no drop shadow and very difficult to notice it's window pop up from the background. I also attached another screenshot to show the drop shadow i am talking about.

I've been trying to get familiar with this over the past 24 hours or so. I assume I've been somewhat successful in what I'm attempting to do, as I can work my way around a bit now and use some terminal commands. However, there is this display problem I seem to be encountering with certain windows which is extremely putting off. When I click options like 'File' or 'Edit' in a window, this is what I get. Here are the screenshots below.
This is what I get when I click the 'Volume' button in the Panel at the bottom of the screen. I have tried changing the Desktop Appearance Settings, Theme Settings but nothing seems to work. Although this is not a performance issue, it is hampering my vision of the various available options, and I would like to resolve it at once.

For some reason, from time to time on login, as my normal theme starts to load, it changes to some sort of silver theme (a very basic one), and I am unable to change it over to any other theme. Checking the theme being used, it still says my desired one is set, but it is not. Also, no matter what theme I change it to, that basic silver theme is the one being used. This includes a default icon theme, not the one I prefer.
The only option that seems to fix things is a restart, and the hope that on this login it won't mess up like before.I am using Natty, from a fresh install, with Ubuntu Classic as my desktop, and have reinstalled things more than once to try and fix a few of the Natty-related issues, but this one keeps coming back.

I backed up .themes from /home, but on trying to install them (files don't show as theme packages) it says "There was an error installing the selected file, index.theme doesn't appear to be a valid theme". Did I backup the right thing?

I have Debian Testing. My theme is Equinox Light and it was working well except for "Passwords and Encrypton keys" app (Version3.02). That doesn't bothered me. But after todays upgrade from gnome-terminal (2.3.2-1) to gnome-terminal3 Equinox theme doesn't work. My themes are installed in /usr/share/themes folder. It doesn't matter if i copy them to my home theme folder. It seems that gnome3 apps doesn't support
Reverting to previous version fixes the problem but i want to have version 3 with nice theme. Ho w can i achieve it?
