[gnome] way to get up/down scroll steppers to differ in gtk3 ?

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – in gtk2 applications such as firefox running on my ubuntu desktop, up and down scrollbar steppers look different (up has rounded top, down has rounded bottom) can gtk3 themes be set up to do something similar, perhaps via css classes that pick out the up stepper widget as opposed to down? thanks for any help (Hardware)

Stories similar to [gnome] way to get up/down scroll steppers to differ in gtk3 ?

I am really loving Gnome3. I know there are themes that include both GTK2 and GTK3 versions but i do really like the default Adwaita theme. Anyone know when programmes are likely to move on to GTK3? Also what about Firefox and Libreoffice integrating? I know they aren't GTK but with GTK2 they did fit in really well. Also really loving the mock ups of Gnome over the last while.

Hi everyone,

Using XFCE/XUbuntu. Now that (some) applications have been ported from GTk2 to Gtk3, theming is broken beause Gtk3 apps are apparently unable to apply Gtk2 themes (and maybe engines too, haven't figured out yet), so I would like to know what does a Gtk2 -> Gtk3 port involve, so I can maybe revert it and bring for example Rhythmbox, Gedit, Abiword etc etc etc...

Overview of changes in Gtk3 0.008 [2012-08-26]: Add overrides for Gtk3::Gdk::Event; Add overrides for some Gtk3::RadioMenuItem constructors; Add overrides for Gtk3::CssProvider; Add overrides for Gtk3::UIManager; Always convert GdkRectangle objects to and from Cairo::RectangleInt.

I really don't like the stock gtk3 themes and have never found one I like. I do however have a few gtk2 themes I really like. Can these gtk2 themes be ported to gtk3 or made to work in 11.10?

Any library that links to gtk+, gdk or gdk-pixbuf, that switches to gtk3 will need to have the new version be separate from and parallel installable with the old version.

If this is not done then distributions can not ship applications still using gtk2 linking to the older version of the library, as this change is binary incompatible (and since you can't mix gtk2 and gtk3 in the same app).

Hi, I installed a bunch of gnome 3 themes in Fedora 17 via yum, but they aren't showing anywhere when I start gnome-tweak-tool.

Why is this broken?

these are the themes: yum install zukitwo-gtk3-theme adwaita-gtk3-theme albatross-gtk3-theme bluebird-gtk3-theme egtk-gtk3-theme greybird-gtk3-theme light-gtk3-theme zukini-gtk3-theme zukiwi-gtk3-theme

GTK3 theme in KDE 38 weeks 3 days ago

I am using Kubuntu 12.04 and QtCurve widget style which does not support GTK3:

How can apply a GNOME theme for GTK3 apps?

I found an advice here: installed gnome-themes-standard and gnome-themes-extras packages, created file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:

[Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome

But this didn't help.

GTK themes in Gnome 3 follow a new syntax that is different from GTK2. The new CSS syntax in GTK3 makes it easier to make themes. Though it is easy to understand the CSS syntax than the old gtkrc syntax, it is not enough to know just CSS. GTK themes are more than that. A good start can be this tutorial and specifically this.

I will try to explain in brief what I have learnt about GTK3 theming.

Eliminating GTK3 2 weeks 4 days ago

Dear #!'ers,I'm new to CrunchBang (not to Linux in general, though). Please excuse me if I post this in the wrong section.I just recently installed Waldorf and instantly fell in love with the GTK theme called "Nox". Unfortunately this theme is GTK2 only, meaning GTK3 applications look horribly.
