Murrine Official Thread

[Uncle Spellbinder]

I must be doing something wrong. I downloaded the deb package of gtk2 engines Murrine 0.10 from post #3. Double clicked the deb, installed fine. Can't find any references to Murrine in Themes Preferences. Downloaded the theme pack, extracted and placed the themes in /home/<your_username>/.themes - Nothing. I then removed them from there and tried /usr/share/themes - Still nothing. What am I doing wrong???

I'm trying to get Murrine working in Dapper on AMD 64. When I try to run the config script (./config [options] from the source directory), I get an error that tells me GTK 2.8 isn't installed.

I did an apt-get install on libgtk2.0-0 (or something like that) which, according to the Debian site, should have me at GTK 2.8. Nothing was updated so it seems 2.8 shipped with Dapper.

So I tried running the config script again and got the same error. Any ideas? Better yet, is there a DEB file for AMD 64 floating around that I just haven't found yet?

you have to install the "librequired"-dev packages in order to compile things on a debian/ubuntu system. Try something like apt-get install libgtk2.0-0-dev or something similar... then re-run configure and see what happenes (and apt-get new required libs)

You will find Murrina ecc ecc in Theme details under Theme preferences (remember murrina is an italian word that means a glass artwork, the engine is called murrine because it draws a lot of murrine! ...as murrine is plural)

I open theme preferences and I have three choices under "theme details", controls - window borders - icons. The only mention of Murrina, Murrine, et al is the Murrina-Eternal_Blue theme I installed after installing your deb package of gtk2 engines Murrine 0.10 from post #3. Other than that, there is no mention of Murrina.

I have the exact same problem, fresh install and after installing the newest package there is no reference to the theme at all. Every other theme I install is in theme details though. I think their might be something wrong with the package for people who don't have a previous version?

I installed the theme pack, but the only theme I get out of it is the NeoGraphite one.

Yup, that was it. Thanks!

Still no luck. Just have no clue what else to do.
