| zino | What's the recommended method for testing gdm themes in Lucid? gtmthemetester seems to have dissapeared from the distribution. | 12:35 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | zino, try gdm2setup (you can find that in a ppa at least) | 15:03 |
| zino | knome: Thanks. Seems the general themeability of gdm has been removed in Lucid though. You can change background, logo, and fiddle a bit with the colours and fonts. Other than that nothing. :-/ | 16:00 |
| zino | (From what I've been able to gather. I'll try out gdm2setup and see if it gives me any other clues.) | 16:02 |

| lontra | hi i just installed the updated light-themes and gtk2-engines-murrine on lucid and now my gdm theme is using raleigh or something else. what do i need to edit to tell it to use ambiance? | 21:25 |
| lontra | the new ambiance | 21:25 |
| kwwii | lontra: I think the update to the new theme engine broke the gdm theme, you can edit a gconf key as the user gdm (I hope) to fix it | 21:38 |
| lontra | kwwii: someone on irc.gimp.net #gdm gave me some instructions ... we'll see if they work ... brb | 21:39 |
| lontra | kwwii: i got it work via gconf-editor | 21:40 |
| lontra | right click the theme and clicking 'set to default' | 21:40 |
| kwwii | lontra: cool, good news | 21:40 |
| lontra | in ... /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme ... of course | 21:41 |
| kwwii | cool, I'll pass that on it anyone else notices the same problem | 21:42 |
| lontra | kwwii: do you know if following http://ppa.launchpad.net/murrine-daily/ppa/ubuntu lucid main ... will keep me up-to-date with the new light-theme for maverick? i like it much better than the one on lucid and don't want to run maverick | 21:43 |
| kwwii | lontra: generally speaking yes | 21:44 |
| kwwii | lontra: sometime soon the freeze will effect the engine package though | 21:44 |
| lontra | kwwii: ok | 21:44 |
| kwwii | so that the engine offered in that ppa will be ahead of the version offered in maverick | 21:44 |
| lontra | kwwii: the gtk2-engines-murrine theme? | 21:45 |
| kwwii | lontra: yes | 21:45 |
| lontra | and freeze is 26th? | 21:45 |
| kwwii | lontra: usually that does not cause any major breakage | 21:45 |
| kwwii | lontra: some things might look different though | 21:45 |
| lontra | maybe i will add a deb-src of maverick in a few weeks and roll my own gtk2-engines-murrine and light-themes from there | 21:46 |
| kwwii | feature freeze already happened so theoretically only bug fixes are allowed now | 21:46 |
| lontra | oh ok | 21:46 |
| lontra | for UI too? | 21:46 |
| kwwii | yes | 21:46 |
| lontra | and artwork? | 21:46 |
| kwwii | no, final artwork will still change | 21:47 |
| kwwii | and the theme engine might be updated | 21:47 |
| lontra | ok | 21:47 |
| kwwii | if there is a bug to fix it is easy to slip in an update as well | 21:47 |
| kwwii | the point of the freeze is that no new changes will be accepted without review | 21:48 |
| lontra | i hope ubuntu sticks with the new light theme and only modifying it as necessary from now on out ... i thought human-theme was nice and distinct and i think ambiance is too especially ambiance in maverick | 21:49 |
| kwwii | I think you will see a progression of the light theme over the next releases | 21:50 |
| kwwii | once you start something this big you have to stick with it for a while :-) | 21:50 |
| lontra | good to hear ;) | 21:50 |
| zniavre | better to see :o) | 21:51 |
| lontra | one of the nicest thing about mac os x ... is that it always looks polished | 21:51 |
| kwwii | indeed :-) | 21:51 |
| lontra | with the same theme | 21:51 |
| kwwii | the idea is not to let a good idea evolve | 21:53 |
| kwwii | :-) | 21:53 |
| kwwii | erm | 21:54 |
| kwwii | is *to* let | 21:54 |
| kwwii | hehe | 21:54 |
| kwwii | funny error | 21:54 |
| lontra | indeed | 21:54 |
| kwwii | getting late, probably time for bed | 21:58 |
