Gtkrc Help Needed.

[ray|raven]

I have a theme called Samui,
*www.opendesktop.org/content/show.php/Samui?content=41263

Everything is fine with the theme, except the part that , it shows large icons on popup menus.
Could someone tell me how to change the size of the images displayed on popup menus?

Thanx,
ray

Add this line to gtkrc file:

gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=20,20anel=16,16:gtk-button=24,24:gtk-large-toolbar=30,30"

Customize the size according to your preferences.

^Thanx, but i kinda fiddled with the theme yesterday night and got it working.

P.S : How abt writing a "How to make gtk+ themes?"

 

[infra_red_dude]

Actually it'd be a real tuff job. It would vary for engine to engine. And gtk theming part is the worst component of gtk when it comes to documentation. No practically useful documentation exists!

^Yeah , that was the reason why i asked you for a how-to.
I tried to get a decent how-to on the net, but even after half-an-hour of searching, i coudnt find a single one.

Wonder how all these themer's started their theming days?

^Thanx , but i use Xfce , and the set from gnome-look works fine with no modifications.

 

[ray|raven]

Guys, I need a no frills color chooser app, having to run gimp to just to know the hex of a color is crappy.

 

[abhinandh]

for gnome gcolor2 is great.
can't recollect anything for Xfce.

 

[ray|raven]

^Just what i was looking for.
Thanx, its a gtk+ app and needs no gnome deps.

Ok , First up, Apologies for bumping an old thread.
But i figured a new thread is pretty much useles for the small query i had.

As for the question,
What widget class do i have to set style to , to theme the handles on the panel?

 

[infra_red_dude]

Handles on the panel?? Cudn't get you...

 

[ray|raven]

By Handles i mean the grip like thingies that appear as the seperators and also before and after the system tray and others.

Sorry, dont know how else to explain.

 

[infra_red_dude]

Oh yes.. thats called handle alrite I'll show a sample here using the pixmap engine. The widget class is GtkHandleBox :

style "myhandlebox" = "default"

{
engine "pixmap"

{
image
{
function = SHADOW
}

image
{
function = HANDLE
recolorable = TRUE
overlay_file = "handle-vertical.png"
overlay_stretch = FALSE
orientation = VERTICAL
}

image
{
function = HANDLE
overlay_file = "handle-horizontal.png"
overlay_stretch = FALSE
orientation = HORIZONTAL

}

}
}

class "GtkHandleBox" style "myhandlebox"

You can use the relevant pixmap. If you wanna use default one then use something like clearlooks/aurora/murrina engine. Hope this helps

^Ah Thanx .
Ill try it and let you know if it works.
