[12:47] <thorwil> kwwii: hi! why is the selection color of Ambiance (Colors tab) mapped to not only item selections but also buttons?
[12:47] <thorwil> the button color is the most puzzling aspect of the theme for me, anyway
[12:49] <thorwil> vish: let it be known that i finally switched to Lucid.
[12:49]  * thorwil had his poor pc work through the entire night to resize partitions
[17:20] <vish> thorwil: welcome to the left side of the world ;p
[17:44] <thorwil> :)
[19:15] <thorwil> what do i have to touch in the Ambiance gtkrc to get rid of the scrollbar rounding?
[19:19] <thorwil> nm, found it
[19:39] <thorwil> i copied Ambiance to elsewhere, with a new name and created a symlink in /usr/share/themes
[19:40] <thorwil> my gtkrc customization works, but the metacity stuff doesn't. looks like the metacity theme isn't found. what could i be doing wrong?
[19:58] <vish> thorwil: weird, have you copied the metacity ? and edited the "MetacityTheme=New theme name" in the index.theme?
[19:59] <thorwil> vish: yes. figured it out, commented the wrong stuff out, making file illegal
[19:59] <vish> ah , k.
[20:00] <vish> thorwil: how can we permanently import a png into inkscape?
[20:00] <thorwil> vish: seems i got rid of scrollbar buttons, scrollbar rounding and all the strangely dark buttons and comboboxes. and the window close button is no longer red and the trough is gone :)
[20:00] <thorwil> vish: recent builds of inkscape ask you if you want to link or embed
[20:01] <thorwil> vish: i think there's no release with that feature, yet
[20:01] <vish> aw..it keeps throwing a fit "image not found" when imported image is moved ;)
[20:01] <vish> thorwil: scrollbar buttons? you mean the arrows?
[20:01] <thorwil> yes
[20:01] <vish> thorwil: ah yeah , removing them seems neat
[20:02] <vish> recently been using it like that
[20:02] <thorwil> vish: you can edit the path to the image in image properties (or directly in the svg, if need be)
[20:02] <thorwil> vish: if the image is in the same dir or below, getting rid of the absolute path makes linking more robust
[20:02] <vish> yeah , i was hoping if i could embed it permanently and delete the source .. but will wait for the future to arrive soon ;)
[20:04] <vish> thorwil: if you install the new murrine ppa that kwwii mentioned , you dont need a separate metacity.xml, its all in 1 gtkrc
[20:04] <vish> thorwil: ie , if you plan on hacking the theme , better to do it that way ;)
[20:04] <thorwil> vish: hmm, like the gtkrc isn't complicated enough, already :)
[20:04] <vish> ha
[20:16] <zniavre> metacity inside the gtkrc?
[20:16] <zniavre> wow !
