Join the development of Murrine 18 August, 2008
…or maybe you prefer help me with Murrine getting things done faster!
Due to lack of time I haven’t updated the code in the last few months, but If you want to help me we can start working on it from october.
The amazing stuff I’ve added from 0.53.1 in the development trunk guarantees a great flexibility in terms of *new styles* that can be added easily, so if you have some ideas or you are dreaming an innovative new style there’s no reason to keep it private in your mind.
I would really like to have a big community around Murrine and its website, there are a lot of things that can be done.
The channel is of course #murrine, in irc.freenode.net.
Comments are welcome too!

Cool news, I would love to see how Murrine grows in future. It would be likely that Murrine will the base for theming technology of GNOME 3.

Excellent work and news!
Question:
I’m getting this when I open gedit from a terminal:
(gedit:17131): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: “murrine”,
Advice?

Is it possible to make a “Snake Menu” with Murrine?

P.S. here is a link to screenshot from BeOS using a snake menu:

I’m confused how to use murrine…
I’m on fedora 9 and i did ‘yum install gtk-murrine-engine’. It appears to have come with the themes but I don’t see them as options under System->Look&Feel->Appearance.
$ rpm -ql gtk-murrine-engine

Why hasn’t murrine become a core part of gnome - granted it has a separate development track, it surely cannot be that difficult to merge in.

Why merging it in GNOME? Not all murrine users are GNOME users

some different pattern styles for scrollbars and progress bars would be nice. something more smooth, as (oh oh, the bad word) apple has done in their theme. i think the oxygen theme for qt has some nice smooth patterns on the scrollbars aswell.
unfortunately even the nicer gtk engines (murrine, aurora) only have hard edges in their patterns.
