New ubuntu interface, need some help

[guillaume22]

Hello !

I'm trying to create a new Ubuntu theme (for Gnome), but I need help because it's the first time I'm using gtkrc file.

I use The Widget Factory to test my new theme.

First problem
I tried to use "gtk_color_scheme" to define default colors. But when I call the defined variable in the gtkrc file, it doesn't work. The default gnome color are used in stead of the defined colors.

For example, here is a gtkrc file :


gtk_color_scheme = "fg_color:#ff0000"

style "visualart-default"
{

bg[ACTIVE] = @fg_color

}

class "GtkWidget" style "visualart-default"

So I always need to enter exact color (for example bg[ACTIVE] = "#ff0000") but it is not useful if future users want to customize the theme.

Second problem

When I want to change the color in an other style than "visualart-default" which is liked to "GtkWidget", it doesn't work.

For example, here is a gtkrc file :


style "visualart-default"
{

fg[ACTIVE] = "#000000"

}

style "visualart-button"
{

fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"

}

class "GtkButton" style "visualart-button"
class "GtkWidget" style "visualart-default"

When I load the theme in The Widget Factory, the active position text of buttons is black (#000000) in stead of being white (#ffffff)

Last problem

I want the loading bar to be like the first attached file :

But what I finally get is the second attached file :

Here is my gtkrc for the loadingbar :


style "visualart-progressbar"
{

xthickness = 0
ythickness = 0
GtkProgressBar::xspacing = 10
GtkProgressBar::yspacing = 10

engine "pixmap"
{

image
{
function = BOX
detail = "trough"
file = "images/progressbar/loading-bg-h.png"
border = { 5, 5, 5, 5 }
stretch = TRUE
overlay_file = "images/progressbar/loading-fg.png"
overlay_stretch = TRUE
overlay_border = { 10, 10, 10, 10 }
orientation = HORIZONTAL
}

image
{
function = BOX
detail = "bar"
file = "images/progressbar/loading-h.png"
border = { 5, 5, 5, 5 }
stretch = TRUE
overlay_file = "images/progressbar/loading-fg.png"
overlay_stretch = TRUE
overlay_border = { 10, 10, 10, 10 }
orientation = HORIZONTAL
}

image
{
function = BOX
detail = "trough"
file = "images/progressbar/loading-bg-h.png"
border = { 5, 5, 5, 5 }
stretch = TRUE
overlay_file = "images/progressbar/loading-fg.png"
overlay_stretch = TRUE
overlay_border = { 10, 10, 10, 10 }
orientation = VERTICAL
}

image
{
function = BOX
detail = "bar"
file = "images/progressbar/loading-h.png"
border = { 5, 5, 5, 5 }
stretch = TRUE
orientation = VERTICAL
}

}

}

Thanks for your help ...
