I have all my themes in /usr/share/themes/ and they are broken. amadar https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=47863 2012-11-01T09:18:12Z (HowTos)

You're right. I found a new theme compatible with Gnome 3.6. I hope most if not all the themes get updated by their creators for 3.6. [SOLVED]

It's a bug in gnome-themes-standard:https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687314Until it is not fixed, you have the following options:- Revert the patch and rebuild gnome-themes-standard.- Downgrade to gnome-themes-standard 3.6.0.- Switch to another GTK+ theme.

I'm not sure if this a bug as I didn't found anything conclusive, most Themes are broken in Gnome 3.3.91 and had been broken ever since Gnome 3.3, However i see that the Ambiance and Radiance themes are not?.

What changes were made that only those Themes are looking fine but the rest aren't?

Note: This isn't exclusive to 12.04 I must add, this happens in 11.10 if one adds the Gnome 3 PPA.

All those programs need GTK3 themes not GTK2.Search the forum; its been posted about before.

I was playing with the Greybird theme for a while. I installed it in ~/.themes. Previously, whatever tinkering I did with themes was directly in /usr/share/themes/theme_name/.

The advantage of using ~/.themes, for a single user set-up, is that sudo isn't needed. The downside is that apps that load at start-up don't seem to behave as expected.

GDM Themes 39 weeks 4 days ago

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=83181 and the like. Looking at those submission dates, though (I hadn't noticed everything was from 2008 and earlier, haha) I see what you're getting at. I thought I could theme GDM separately from Gnome itself.

Hmmm.... I've fixed this already but I forgot what I did. haha... I'll post back if I find out in case it helps others, and mark this as solved meanwhile.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS uses Unity as the default Desktop Environment, which is based on Gnome 3. So Gnome 3 themes (window themes + GTK themes) works well in Unity as well as Gnome shell environment.
