Thank you rdettogni, for thanks to your question I was able to find the solution. I was having the same problem after trying out Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 12.10. After reading your post, I looked at the contents of the file `~/.gtkrc-2.0`. The contents of this file looked as follows:
Code:
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN BY gtk-theme-switch2 DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/home/serrano/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN BY gtk-theme-switch2 DO NOT EDIT
Which explains the problem. You can see that it loads a theme file for the Adwaita theme. You can simply remove the line that reads
Code:
include "/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
to solve this problem. As an alternative, you can simply use that tool `gtk-theme-switch2` to change the theme back to Ambiance. If you don't already have it installed:
Code:
sudo apt-get install gtk-theme-switch
Then execute the tool from the terminal:
Select Ambiance from the dropdown menu and press the Apply button. And all should be fixed (you may need to restart some applications to see the changes).
