Re: Firefox dislikes GTK+ Aurora theme
I am using this theme on Firefox 3 and have the same problem. I already asked the developer of the theme engine if he could fix it.
The problem comes from the background of the widgets. In normal GTK apps, a button has background color as the color of the thing he is placed in (his parent widget). Since Firefox is not a GTK program, it just takes the widget with some default background. In the Midnight theme it is black and is what causes these ugly boxes around things. I think it is possible to fix, because Combo Box widgets don't have an ugly box around them - because they have a transparent background. If one could change the other widgets to have a transparent background, all would be nice. I have the source code here and tried fixing it, but I can't program in GTK, so it's too hard. That is why I asked the developer, let's wait and see if he can come up with something.
make install - not war!
Oh hai!
