theme not working...help

[jamesford]

Hello!

i'm quite new to this. I fell in love with this theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=23563&PHPSESSID=92dcb454dd5f5758799237aae1a5e921

It worked for me before, but now it just doesent work anymore, the system reverts to the basic gray style...

my ubuntu is up2 date if that matters

[monchichi]

yup, thats a great theme.. make sure you have the clearlooks engine installed, i.e.: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-clearlooks or search for clearlooks in synaptic.

If that doesnt work, navigate to your ~/.themes folder, delete the old gperfection folder, and downlaod and extract a new one in its place.

good luck!

You need to have Clearlooks engine in 0.6 version :) It's in backports repositories.

Hi,

I have 0.5 version installed. I don't see 0.6 version with Synaptic. I have backports repositories.

## Backports
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted

???

EDIT: Nermind. I compiled it myself from http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=19527

sorry, it's in backports-staging :)

I'm having the same trouble with this theme. I just can't get it to work.

I'm using Ubuntu Hoary on PPC. Mine comes out blue :???:

I added that to my sources.list and still can't find 0.6 of clearlooks. What command did you use to get it? apt-get install "what title?"

I checked Synaptic and only shows .5

I added these lines to my sources.list:

## Backports
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted

## Backports Staging
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-backports-staging main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras-staging main universe multiverse restricted

I updated and used Synaptic to search for "Clearlooks". It found 0.6.

That's strange... I've attached my sources.list anything I"m missing?

[Jason-X]

Your sources are the same as mine.

If you search for "clearlooks" on Synaptic you should get this result:

gtk2-engines-clearlooks

If you right-click >properties you will see tab labelled "versions". I have both versions listed in this:

0.6.2-1~5.04ubp1 (now)
0.5-0ubuntu1 (hoary)

I don't now if you have both versions listed. If you do you may be able to choose "Package>Force Version.." from the menu.

Hope this helps :)
