Hi All,

I have compiled and created a deb package of gtk2 engines Murrine 0.10 for dapper and edgy and you can find the packages here:
dapper (http://southernvaleslug.org/ubuntu/dapper-drake/)
edgy (http://southernvaleslug.org/ubuntu/edgy-eft/)

Enjoy

[ChaKy]

This is a great gtk2 engine, and I am using MurrinaCappuccino theme downloaded from your personal web site. Can you also make a Gilouche color theme for your gtk2 engine? Or somebody else in this thread. :) Thanks!

[Kayne]

I saw one screenshot with a "Murrina - Eternal Blue" theme but wasn't able to find it myself.
Anybody know where I can find this?

Great! Thanks! :)

[lazyd2]

I saw one screenshot with a "Murrina - Eternal Blue" theme but wasn't able to find it myself.
Anybody know where I can find this?
Eternal Blue (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=44517)

[kpolice]

I did that Eternal Blue theme :P .

Oh and a request, I hope it's possible to add the glass effect to the panel also. Either as an option or as the default becuase right now it looks out of place :P

And nice update to the engine :D, loving it.

[Kayne]

Thanks for "Eternal Blue", guys :)

[mjreged]

Hey what happened to the glass look on the menu selection?

pre 0.10 build we would be able to have a black shiny contransted menu selection.

but now in the 0.10 , we got the curved glass but the black shiny glass now looks plain matted with no contrast appearance.

In any case i love the murrine engine, it's very clean, and the best of all the theme requires no textures to accomplish it's look, sweat !!!

[Cimi86]

this is because now the engine will use the same hilight of buttons

[Tobba25]

I dont get it. I want the bli nice desktop, so I download the Ubuntu package. Then i click it, it installs, and I enter the theme-choice in my menus. Murrine is not there??

Please help... I think the correct term for someone like me is "noob"? Someday has to be the first! :-)

Cheers.

You have to get some themes to work with the engine. Get the theme-pack here (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=43073):)

[Tobba25]

Still looks nothing like this! Mine is gray, not blue.

Edit: nothing like this (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42755).

Edit:

Nevermind, I found what I was looking for here (http://gnomethemes.org/?p=52) :-)
Tnx guys :-)

[Tobba25]

...well, almost... My menu in the top left is not blue, it is still gray..

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?

[IsKall]

Sorry for this newbie question but after the installation of the deb package of Murrine GTK2 Cairo Engine, how do I make this Eternal Blue theme work?

I tried to drag drop to "Theme prefences" but it didn't work "Invalid format".

Uncompress and move it to /home/<your_username>/.themes:)

[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???

[IsKall]

Ah ](*,)

thank you guys!

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)

[Cimi86]

Anyone?
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)

[Uncle Spellbinder]

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.
:-k

[vrecan]

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?

[PathSpace]

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

I tried installing the Murrine engine on two FC 5 boxes. I first tried the RPMS and it didnt work, but after i installed the source over it everything was fine. Works great. But when i tried to install on the second box, I cant get it to work witht he RPM or sources. I get the following error:



Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
Everything on both boxes are the same, any suggestions?

the murrine engine was installed to /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines
all themes are in ~/.themes

[powder]

Thank you Cimi for your Murrine and Candido themes. They are excellent! :cool:

1. Install theme engine (.deb package) here (http://southernvaleslug.org/ubuntu/dapper-drake/)

2. Install metacity theme (extract in .themes) here (http://www.kernow-webhosting.com/~bvc/theme/mcity/Murrine.tar.gz)

Worked like a charm, thanks.

[hugmenot]

One minor glitch with the Candy theme is that the launcher icons and the drive-mount applet buttons on the panel appear blurred, fuzzy.
This also occurs in Gilouche. I think when I reduce the font size the icons contract to their proper size. Only, I don’t want to. The fonts are good like that.

Anything that can fix this?

EDIT: I think I found it.
Changinf this from 4 to 3 fixes the blurry launchers

[pain of salvation]

I have compiled the 10.1 version. Now the 11 version is out! How can I install this new version? Should I uninstall the 10.1 version first? How do I do that?

[powder]

That's why I don't compile anything.

[IdoMcFly]

I'm using 0.11.1 and MurrinaGilouche.

Is the progress bar supposed to be animated? If yes, I can't have it animated. I've compiled with --enable-animation

[pain of salvation]

No .deb for 11.1??

[aanderse]

I am having alot of troubles installing this engine ...

I'm currently using edgy knot2 on an amd64 system. All the .deb's provided are i386 so I cannot use them, but when I try to compile, I find out alot of my dependencies are too old (such as glib, pango, cairo, atk, gtk ...) How can I update these so that I can compile murrine?


edit: I actually made a bit of a mistake and fixed this, nevermind :-\"

[foxi84]

hey. Thankyou for the really great Engine and Themes... But... How did you made your panel look like on this screenshot? I haven't found anything to get it.

Hi ubuntu users, have you tried Murrine Configurator?
How does it works in your distro?

[dlpfmVfH]

Andrea Cimitan can you make deb-packages for edgy eft also...???
or if somebody else made them can they point out where I could get them...??? :D

Love the look of the engine, and use it on my laptop to show off how good ubuntu looks... :cool:

hihi

please keep up the good work!! Love you're engine work and themes

[dlpfmVfH]

Made a checkinstall deb package for the new murrine engine 0.12.

This one is for edgy eft.

hope it works for you.

Please give feedback if something can be improved...

Don't like them, they are "too much" in a way :/

[dclagoa]

Hi ubuntu users, have you tried Murrine Configurator?

I have tested Configurator in edgy and works flawlessly. Regarding the new menuitems, i like them a lot, and im expecting the new version impatiently. And also i want to congratulate you for all your old themes, engines and artwork, and above all this murrine engine. They are all very sweet :KS

And for the people that prefer the flat version, maybe you can add another option for the new menuitems instead of replacing the old flat ones, no? If that is not possible, my vote is for the new striped/barber pole ones :)

Or maybe you can add an configuration option for making the stripe effect more subtle :?: or at least email me the striped version of the engine :biggrin:

[rel]

I't just doesn't work here. Installed the latest engine, the themepack (are showing in theme details). But controls are not themed (ugly default look).

how can I tell that the engine is working?


rel

[dclagoa]

@rel
I think that gtk isn`t finding the engine. Check that the engine is installed correctly. Look for the engine library files (libmurrine.la and libmurrine.so) in the engines folder (/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines) or whatever gtk version you have. If they are there run ldconfig (sh$ sudo ldconfig). Then try to change the theme. Hope that helps.;)

Are the other engines working? If they are, are in the same directory?:?:

[RizSilverthorn]

Hi ubuntu users, have you tried Murrine Configurator?
How does it works in your distro?

Works fine for me and thanks for the hard work you've put into these.

[rel]

@ dclagoa
Thanks! they where installed /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines (using 2.10). So moving them over fixed it.

Still wonder why they get installed there first place.

[dclagoa]

@rel
You're welcome. Probably you've used a .deb for another ubuntu release or for debian. If you have edgy (with gtk-2.10) and install the dapper (or whatever release) version of the package, the .deb will install the engine in the folder of the gtk version the release have. In this case gtk-2.4.
If you have problems, you can always compile the engine yourself.
Anyway, enjoy the engine.

[Cimi86]

New version released.

Could someone contact ubuntu developers to add murrine into universe?

[swj]

I was thinking the same thing Cimi86. Murrine is just as quality as the default ubuntu eng. Everybody who has seen my linux box (ubuntu edgy beta) using Murrine has made positive comments.

I mean does anyone ever use the Mist engine or Metal engine..Crux??? Take them out and replace with Murrine!

Maybe create a poll or something?

[Raavea]

Wow.


By the four hells, this is hawt. And a relief for my tired eyes! I like my themes dark, but so many of the ones on GNOME-look are awful on the eyes. The dark pack on GNOME for the murrina engine is the secks.

And, digging in the dregs of my wallpaper, I have the perfect theme set up.

I love you, Cimi.


I would attach screenprints that I just made, specially, but I keep getting this error;

[Athanasius]

I don't want to sound stupid but what am I supposed to do after i install the .deb package. Is there supposed to be an icon somewhere? where do I put the themes?

[swj]

That will install the Murrine engine.

Grab the metacity (if you want) @ http://gnomethemes.org/?p=52

Put it in /home/user/.themes

Grab Murrina theme(s) after that. Put them in /home/user/.themes

http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0

Then go to system --> Prefs --> Theme --> theme details and choose your favorite (Murrina) Controls, window border and icons.

I use personally use metacity by bvc and MurrinaGraphite by thewayofzen with tango icons.

It generates random curves for the background...

*slow* but in progress...

[dclagoa]

Hi, I've started a new thread in the development discussion asking for the inclusion of the engine, here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1567764. I really think the engine should be included in the distro, maybe even should be selected as the default engine :)

I like very much the last release (0.13) and also like the new look of the background with those random curves. However, i wonder if the rendering of those curves would affect somehow the speed of the engine. This curves thing remain me of the tiger-stripes widgets that were shown as part of the enchancements cairo would add to the rendering of gtk themes. (See: http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/xshots) I remember i wonder when we could have something similar, and now we're nearer :) Also, in the same page, those luminocity videos were awesome..

Keep up the goog work, Cimi.

Cimi86, I have been using Murrine exclusively for a while now, since it first appeared on gnome-look. And this shot just takes the cake. I'm sure a lot of people will say it's too much, but I *LOVE* it. Random curves for the bg? WOW!! When can I have this? :D

[galego]

regarding "MurrinaEternal_Blue" the colors and engine are really very nice and i really prefer all the Murrina Engine over anything. my suggestion for this theme is....

Buttons: can they be rounded and have more height
Progres Bar: get rid of the diagonal effects (animation) and give it a glow or shine?
Tabs: can they have more thickness and shine to them?

keep in mind that i have NO idea about how to create a theme then alone an engine; however i do know how to enjoy them! :-D

thanks! and Keep up the Excellent work!!

[Cimi86]

regarding "MurrinaEternal_Blue" the colors and engine are really very nice and i really prefer all the Murrina Engine over anything. my suggestion for this theme is....

Buttons: can they be rounded and have more height

round = slow = ubuntulooks
squared = fast = murrine

When cairo will be faster I will make a rounded option for buttons, for the moment no roundness since it's even slower than pixmap themes (see ubuntulooks or clearlooks).
For more height it's so simple! Edit x/ythickness of the buttons on the gtkrc


Progres Bar: get rid of the diagonal effects (animation) and give it a glow or shine?

Animations are always bad (cause a lot of new bugs)... but i think I could think about it...


Tabs: can they have more thickness and shine to them?

You can always change x/y thickness!!

[ayoli]

very nice engine, makes clean and very fast themes :) i 've tweaked a bit MurrinaLoveGray to fit my gray need.
i'm also waitin for rounded buttons, and maybe rounded text entries :p
and ..hmm, what about having choice for arrows (combos' ones) between existing ones and plain (a black closed triangle).

[rogeriovinhal]

I've built a amd64 package for the engine.
It worked here, see if it will work anywhere else...

Yeah I did. It’s gone. Just wanted to point it out.

As for the new Glaze style: It looks like it is bevelled in, not out. It’s more flat though, so I might actually prefer it. It’s just that it doesn’t look natural.

How does it look when you swap the shadow and highlight?

[Cimi86]

How does it look when you swap the shadow and highlight?

I haven't only swapped the hilight, in fact you can see a thin hilight and a shadow around the botton (before border) that indicate that the light is always placed at the top of the screen, as in other glazestyle

[hugmenot]

But now the lower half is brighter and the upper half is darker. MY brain interprets that as if the buttons are concave and not convex (because the sun would illuminate the top if it were convex, etc pp.)

[thewayofzen]

Wondering about some issues im having with compilation on XUBUNTU EDGY EFT using Xfce 4.4 beta 2 and Murrine 0.20

I have eliminated the problem with the vertical bars showing on the tasks portion of my xfce panel.

But now im currently having issues with the Tasks themselves.
Before each task used to show in its own little "square" something like this
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/pre1/45325-1.jpg

But currently im having a problem where the only item that shows in its "square" is the active task. The others are just plain like the rest of the toolbar. This is illustrated here:

http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=murrine20ru7.png

Could u or anyone else provide me with a solution or a deb that would correct this.. without reintroducing the bars on the taskbar ( as shown here (as u helped me with on gnome-look.org)

Please and Thankyou.. I appreciate your time.

Hey there. This might be a stupid question, but I've installed Quail's efty deb and I can't find Murrine in System -> Preferences. How can I open up the configurator? Thanks.

these debs contain only the gtk engine i guess, install a gtk theme using murrine engine (there's plenty on gnome-look.org).
murrine-configurator is on cimi's site, and requires at least one murrina theme installed to configure it.

Hi,

Steps to getting Murrine running
1) Install the murrine engine (which you have done by the sounds of it)
2) Download a theme from Cimi's Official Website (http://cimi.netsons.org/pages/murrine/themes.php) or Gnome-Look (http://www.gnome-look.org/) extract the theme/s into ~/.themes
3) Download and install the Murrine Configurator (http://cimi.netsons.org/pages/murrine/configurator.php) then after the installation the program can be found under(in Gnome) System -> Preferences -> Murrine Configurator

Thanks so much for the screenshot post.
I have resolved all my issues finally. I figured something out..
when murrine didnt work i checked other gtk engines and found the same problem.. This didnt click at first but it made me realise that it wasnt a problem with MURRINE if every other engine was responding the same way.
Tracked down the problem.. resolved it.. and now im currently using the latest build of murrine.. glitch free.. happy.. and loving it.

Cimi.. thanks for everything.. i really appreciate the work u put into this project. Since its release i refuse to use any other engine.

Mad props.

Hello

Does anyone have a suggestion for an icon theme and background image that fits with the Murrina-Aqua controls?

[ayoli]

why not OSX icon pack ?

Murrine 0.21 has stopped working properly after I upgraded yesterday to Edgy. When launching apps from the terminal, it says (translating from Spanish):

(gedit:6337): Gtk-WARNING **: Imposible to find theme engine in the path to «murrine» module

Appart from that, apps don't look as good as they should (Is it a problem with latest GNOME?):
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/Tecniferio/Pantallazo.png

[Arkeos]

That's not the same .deb package with Edgy Eft.

Try "sudo apt-get remove gtk2-engines-murrine" and then, install that one instead : http://southernvaleslug.org/ubuntu/edgy-eft/gtk2-engines-murrine_0.21-1_i386.deb

(sorry for my english ;) )

[Ferio]

OK, now it works like a charm, thank you very much!

[stansaraczewski]

Where can I find a how-to on changing themes ? I'm a bit of a newbie, and have spent a couple of hours trying to find my way around but realize now that most of these bits of advice are pretty high level and assume some prior knowlege and experience with themes.

Thank You...

[stansaraczewski]

Found it. Just required a bit of perseverance...

Hello,

I am having some problems with Murrine on my new Edgy install.

I love Murrine, it was perfect under Dapper, I'd really appreciate any help to get my system looking as good as it once did!

The two main problems that I have noticed are a thin black border around open menus and windows, (including as the previous poster mentioned around the Main Menu) and that if you look at my panel next to where Firefox is open you will see that the little panel app handel is opaque rather than transparent as it used to be.

Any ideas? I have installed gtk2-engines-murrine-.21

Hi,

Try going to System -> Preferences -> Theme
Then click on "Theme Details" and then on the "Window Border" tab and try changing your window border to another type

Edit: I have noticed that when i have windows unmaximized on the desktop that i can see the borders, but when the window is maximized the left / right / bottom of the border disappears(99% time my windows are maximized).

See attachments for example

Hi,

I have just encountered a problem with murrine engine 0.30.1, none of my murrine themes work now. I have tried compiling the source again but the samething :-( ](*,) All i can suggest to people is drop back to version 0.21 or not upgrade to 0.30.1.

I am taking down the current version of murrine 0.30.1 till Cimi has a chance to see what the problem is.

Hi,

Sorry to hear that murrine engine has been buggy for you, but have you tried compiling the murrine engine for yourself?

I have been using murrine engine for awhile and the only version that has given me any problems and that is version 0.30.1 where it does not recognize any of the murrine themes.

[Cimi86]

why people don't read my messages??????????


see the murrine page on gnomelook

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42755


ALL THEMES NEED TO BE UPDATED TO 0.30 VERSION OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT WORK!!! YOU HAVE TO USE NEW MURRINE CONFIGURATOR 0.4 THAT WILL AUTO-UPDATE THEM OR REPLACE SQUAREDSTYLE TO ROUNDNESS IN THE GTKRC.

Please don't spread wrong voices... Murrine 0.30 adds roundness option that gives the user the ability to change the amount of roundness of his themes... So "squaredstyle" is replaced with "roundness", you have to use the new murrine configurator or open gtkrc of the themes and replace squaredstyle with roundness (noting that roundness = 0 is flat and more is more round! :))

[Cimi86]

Hi,

I think it this section that you need to edit in the gtkrc file


style "theme-progressbar" = "theme-wide"
{
xthickness = 0
ythickness = 0
bg[SELECTED] = "#e8e8e8"
fg[PRELIGHT] = "#353535"

I had some bugs when installing the new Murrine engine (post 0.21) : the theme I wanted to use wouldn't apply although it was 0.30-ready. In fact it applied to some applications but not others (e.g. Nautilus and the Gnome desktop).
I had to quit Gnome and reconnect. Did you try this ?

Anyway, I have a small problem with a Murrina (MurrinaNeo, found on Gnome-look.org) : the icons text color on the desktop is black, which is unreadable on dark wallpapers. How do I modify the theme so that I have the same behaviour that with most ones : white text with black shadow ?

I have installed Murrine, some themes, and the configurator as outlined in the first post and I am having a lot of problems. Originally when I would apply a murrine them using the configurator it would not apply to some programs such as synaptic package manager. i tried running the configurator again, selecting "none - ~/.gtkrc-2.0" This messed up all of my other themes using the gnome theme selector. No matter which theme i choose now the window border will be from that theme, but the gnome panels and the rest of the programs will be from the murrino theme. I would like to go back to the way I had it before I installed Murrine. Any help would be appreciated.

To have same themes applied also to synaptic I suggest:

sudo ln -sf /home/your-user/.themes /root/.themes

for the mistake with the gtkrc you have to do:

rm -f ~/.gtkrc-2.0

and then relesect your theme into gnome theme manager (or relogin)

[thebert]

spoke too soon...

The problem with gtkrc has been fixed but synaptic is still an ugly shade of gray when I use a Murrina theme.

[Cimi86]

sudo ln -sf /home/your-user/.themes /root/.themes
or sudo rm -r /root/.themes && sudo ln -sf /home/your-user/.themes /root/.themes

[thebert]

Thanks, worked great.

[Biker]

sudo ln -sf /home/your-user/.themes /root/.themes
or sudo rm -r /root/.themes && sudo ln -sf /home/your-user/.themes /root/.themes

Nice solution BTW.

I always copied the user themes to /usr/share/themes and did a 'sudo gnome-theme-manager' to install the same theme for the root user (Synaptic and other gksudo programs)

Your solution is much better!

[Linux O)o_O7]

Theme looks good and all but I can't get them to work for me.

I followed all guides and non worked - well powder your guide was the best and I usually get themes to work this way.

Murrine Configurator did not install for me - my fault because I don't know how since the guide was not very clear on what folder to install it from when logged in as root so I tried to install it from the home folder.

Anyway I didn't get any of the Murrine themes to load but I got others to work for me :rolleyes:

I hate to think what noobs from windows will do - if they ever dare venture onto Linux :-k

You know a lot of windows users just use it as they get it out the box and don't install anything:-\"

Maybe that is the only time it is ever stable.

So it seems I need to be a programmer to install software still (even when not compiling) or find some guides that work for me. Either way I hope I can design my own themes and share them some day in a simple package file.

Hi,

If you can feed us with some errors to in lighten us a little to why you could not install Murrine Configurator, we'll help you out the best that we can.

I think the Murrine Configurator needs build-essential compiling tools, but i not sure i have never used it.

Hi,

I have had a look at the Murrine package that you have created for Edgy and the changelog.debian is wrong


murrine (0.31-1) dapper; urgency=low

The dapper should be changed to edgy

And in Murrine package control file you got

Section: gnome
And the sections for it is

Section: GNOME Desktop Environment (universe)
or

Section: Miscellaneous - Graphical (universe)
The section in bold is the better to use :-)

I got this one http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6049/buttontr5.jpg
Do you know why ?
thx

[abelthorne]

You have to use a propre theme for windows border (the one on the ImageShack screenshot is a Windows Vista-inspired one). Basically, Murrina themes apply to buttons and widgets, not windows borders.
I guess you won't have difficulties to find a windows border theme that suits you on gnome-look.org. There are chances though that most Vista clones need Compiz or Beryl because of transparency and you might have to find a Metacity theme.

I like Murrine but it is a shame I don't manage to get full transparency for my gnome deskbars.

I have a question, i can not seem to get it to work. I am running Edgy. I installed everything, ran the configurator. When i get to the last option the "would you like to use MurrinaFancyCandy now?" it says "desktop environment" and i am given the choice of gnome, Xfce and "None, -~/.gtkrc-2.0"
Whatever i click does nothing. shouldn't it be running?
and my second question is once i do get it to work, how do i go back to the normal theme/environment.

I have a question:

http://debuntu.free.fr/divers/pb.png

I use MurrinaFancyClearlooksEarth, Resilience and Human icons.
The engine (like any other else) doesn't support full transparency so not all widgets can be transparent.
It's a common issue i think...
My suggestion is to use "real" transparency, so install a program such as transset and on the terminal run transset 0.7 then click on the panel, youw will get real transparency

do a rm -f ~/.gtkrc-2.0 then select the theme manually under gnome theme manager

configurator modify gtkrc of the theme you have installed, for example for "MurrinaCandy"
/home/youruser/.themes/MurrinaCandy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
at the section:
engine "murrine" {
[...]
}

I've installed your theme engine on both Dapper & Zenwalk. When selecting a Murrina theme, I only get the colours and not the controls.

I've installed from source on both systems. Dapper installed to: /usr/local/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/ & Zenwalk installed to: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/

Why are the themes not working properly, can anyone help?

[malte]

Did you try restarting the open applications? I mean closing and reopening Theme Preferences, Firefox, and a

killall gnome-panel && killall nautilus
too.

I uninstalled everything and it changed my human theme and few other ones I put together and saved to a light blue, basically they all look the same. I can not figure out what it did, so warning to all those using this, ie backup your themes.

If anyone knows how to get my themes back to their default look (they way they were when ubuntu was installed), I would appreciate it.

What version of Murrine did you have installed earlier?

This is a warning from gnome-look.org:


ALL THEMES NEED TO BE UPDATED TO 0.3x VERSION OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT WORK!!! YOU HAVE TO USE NEW MURRINE CONFIGURATOR 0.4.1 THAT WILL AUTO-UPDATE THEM OR REPLACE SQUAREDSTYLE TO ROUNDNESS IN THE GTKRC.

A quick question on my part too;


NOW MURRINE 0.31 GETS SUPPORT FOR THE MODIFIED GTK2 BY AQD WITH MAC MENUBAR, USE ONLY WITH THE MODIFIED GTK2 OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE BUGS IN RENDERING

Does this mean that you cannot use murrine 0.31 with the default gtk2?

i've installed Murrine applied a theme and everything seem to be ok, except for some apps (synaptic, automatix, firestarter and a few others) showing up in native gray and blue look, i tried with different themes, but skin for these apps remains the same. :confused: Any ideas?

The repo is down again. Does anyone have a copy of the debs? I can host them on googlepages or something.

[malte]

Yeah, I need a mirror! Unfortunately my PC (and me) will be offline for a week from tomorrow (Christmas time). I'll need one with a ssh account or rsync to use the Falcon repository builder's mirroring option, any help would be very appreciated from all the community :)

[Albi]

I got a really weird error...for some reason the Murrine themes only work when I run something as root.

[swj]

Had to replace hard drive. Could someone please post the same (Murrine .31 EDGY) since the repo is down atm?

Thanks,

[r0nin]

Looking for it too.

[Patrick-Ruff]

yeah, can someone upload it somewhere?

[swj]

I am still looking...for it (0.31 Edgy).

* I can not get it to compile.

[whoismilan]

I'm uploading the same which was in the repository before it went down, from my /var/cache/apt/archives. I tested it by installing on my laptop (which did previously not have murrine installed).

See attachment. :)

Yay for finally getting my hands on the engine! We need a mirror for this!

Weirdness, but even though I've installed the engine, none of the Murrina themes work for me, 'cept Murrina-GT4-Rounded... ALL of the other themes I've got look exactly the same... Boring.

Screenshots... The last 2 look the same but they're different themes, apparently lol

Maelgwyn,

This may not be the issue, but some older themes need to be converted to work with the new murrine version.

Check out some earlier post(s) from Cimi.

Same problem here :(

[MetalMusicAddict]

Im getting a issue when using the same .deb and theme for Edgy and Feisty. On Edgy text for my icons dont have a background. On Feisty they do. I have these little gray boxes behind my icon text.

[Cimi86]

Same problem here :(

you have to update themes with new configurator.

[ChaKy]

I have a small problem with the latest 0.40 murrine gtk engine. It crashes Brasero CD/DVD burning application when I click "Data project" inside Brasero application. Here is the backtrace of the bug report http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/233/

This happens only with 0.40 engine, older versions or other gtk engines do not have problems with Brasero.

If someone can have a look. Thanks.

this piece of code on line 121 on murrine_style.c is crashing brasero.

Howdy Cimi,
your Murrine looks amazing!

I installed version 0.31 by manually building the sources on your website. Now that 0.41 is out, do I need to remove the old version first or I can safely compile the new version over it? If yes, where is it located? What about the configurator?

Many thanks.

you can simply overwrite if you redo the --prefix=/usr

[MetalMusicAddict]

Cimi86, Does anything outside of the Murrine engine affect the theming? ie: I have a theme that looks one way on Edgy then another using Feisty using the same Murrine engine.deb.

The issue Im having is that in Edgy the desktop icons have no colored background to them. Thats what I want. You know that little square of color that can be behind text. In Fiesty its there.

I am the Ubuntu Studio lead and we want to use Murrine for our theme but this issue just popped up. We're using the latest Murrine.

Cimi..
I was having issues in the past compiling your wonderful engine.
Using xfce 4.4 rc2 on ubuntu edgy i always get handles at the ends of the
taskbar and they are ugly as sin.. You helped me fix that once.

Im currently having some problems with the latest engine.. exactly same problem.
You had given me a line to change in the code to fix it before..

as per gnome look:

"yes u have to edit line 188 in murrine_style.c to

frame.shadow = CL_SHADOW_NONE;"

This no longer works.. (i know its no longer 188 but it still doesnt help or allow compile)
Can you help?

try to search the metacity in gnomethemes (http://gnomethemes.org/?cat=3)
and for the icone Tango-Foxtrot use the Tango-generator script (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=49368) to get the link
wallpaper you find it under deviantart I think.

I have tried using SystemGX (http://gnomethemes.org/?p=42) as it looks correct except instead of a black title bar, its orange like the default Ubuntu look. I can change other styles and the border will change from that to blue, etc. When I use the MurrinaFancyCandy, where it should be black it goes orange.

Also I downloaded the Tango script and ran it but all I got was a folder of the icons in various sizes and scalable. How do I install this, I tried tar.gz them and installing through the theme manager but that file format was invalid.

Thanks again.

[istoyanov]

mikegabriel,

the theme in question is MurrinaFancyCandy -- it looks like MurrinaCandy, but the title bar is black ;) You may find it at the top of Cimi's theme page (http://cimi.netsons.org/pages/murrine/themes.php).

HTH!

P.S. To get it, you should click at the theme name (just above the screenshot). It's rather cryptic, but it's up to Cimi to change that ;)

P.P.S. The metacity is most probably one of the variants of Clearbox (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25060).

Someone has suggested this thread be moved from Desktop Environments to Art & Design. I happen to agree, so it's moved.

Hmm.. I'm not sure this helps me.

I already downloaded MurrinaFancyCandy from Cimi's website. It works great. I wanted the window border that is used in the picture of it. As posted above, I found it at http://gnomethemes.org/?p=42. This is the exact one in the picture. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/1995/200610182341271280x1024scrotww9.jpg
So I installed both. Go to themes, select custom and choose MurrinaFancyCandy and SystemGX. It looks correct except instead of black top is is orange.

Also, I still need help getting the Tango-Foxtrot icons.

[istoyanov]

mikegabriel,

my last post was based only on assumptions, but after you have reported your problems, I have actually downloaded the mentioned gtk & metacity themes just to verify, and the result was exactly as predicted (see the screenshot attached). Please note that in SystemGX, the spaces between the "minimize", "maximize", and "close" buttons are much wider in than in Clearbox-mistic, and the windows title is not left-aligned (as in Clearbox). I cannot reproduce the orange window title you get.

HTH!

Ah yes, I forgot about the left align on the menu bar. I am experienced in Windows programming and web design so I may be able to alter the file to make it left align but that is the lemast of my concern. Attached is a screenshot of my laptop running MurrinaFancyCandy with SystemGX. It looks VERY close to the one in the picture on Cimi's website, even has the thumbnail image in the top left of each window (which your attachment does not have). Now if I change to different "Controls" in the theme details, the orange will switch to blue, green, red, etc. If I change my Border to something else, it will switch to black. Key question would be what window border is being used in that picture.

This is quite confusing.

[Athropos]

Hi!

I installed the engine thanks to the .deb package and then installed some themes. But on my system, it doesn't look like the screenshots, especially buttons which are not flat at all. Menus are also pretty ugly.

I tried to use the configurator, and set everything to flat just to see, but it doesn't seem to change anything. I also tried to log out / in without luck.

Any idea?

EDIT:

I found, the libraries were not installed in the correct directory (/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines). Looks good now :-)

[| MM |]

Hi,

Love the theme, but it does not apply to all applications, for instance synaptic.

I am using the latest version i compiled myself on ubuntu feisty.

[Colonel Kilkenny]

Hi,
Love the theme, but it does not apply to all applications, for instance synaptic.


You use Synaptic with root rights (as a root user) and that is why it looks like that.
Any application you start as a root looks like that Synaptic in screenshot.

You need to set the root user to also use the theme of your choice.
(in terminal "sudo gnome-theme-manager")

Someone else will correct me if I'm wrong, hopefully :)

[Athropos]

You need to set the root user to also use the theme of your choice.
(in terminal "sudo gnome-theme-manager")


Another way to do that is to create links to your ".themes" and ".icons" directories in "/root", so that all the themes installed for you are also available for root. This way, root applications will always use the same theme as yours without having to "sudo gnome-theme-manager" on every theme change.

To create the links, simply type this in a terminal:



sudo ln -sf ~/.themes /root/.themes
sudo ln -sf ~/.icons /root/.icons

[neatojones]

HERE (http://www.aehunter.net/Files/gtk2-engines-murrine_0.40.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) is a .deb built for Feisty of version 0.40.1.

This is just the engine.

If there are any issues on Feisty let me know.

Can you compile a version with --enable-macmenu?? I can't seem to get this engine to compile on my feisty. It complains about my gtk version.

Edit: Nevermind, I found the dependency.
