aurora help.

Hi, I guess you want to make the toolbar blend better with the rest of the window? Unfortunately, this is not possible by just altering gtkrc. This is programmed in the aurora theme by default. I changed the source of the theme and now it blends. I attach the new source. Extract it end then run:
./configure --enable-animation
make
sudo make install
Before doing the last step, make sure to switch to another theme, otherwise your programs will crash. (because if they are using aurora while your change aurora, bad things happen :) )
Hope this helps.

EDIT: Of course, you still have to alter the colors in the gtkrc file, to match the color of the toolbar gradient with the color of the window titlebar.

What Ubuntu are you using? Try without "--enable-animation".

Have you tried apt-get build-depend gtk-engine-[pick one here]... You probably need the developer headers of GTK to build the engine.
