Three new smooth themes for Murrine (Chrome, Cream, Candido) 4 September, 2008
Today is the 3-C day: Chrome Cream Candido! 
Since I would to show you the new contrast function, I’ve done 3 new themes that are using it to draw their widgets.
They require the latest Murrine SVN snapshot. Emerald themes are included.
You may not like them, they were created just to show the contrast function, not with the goal to be a killer-theme
Also, as they have a low contrast, you need to use a great LCD monitor to enhance their feeling, so in some CRTs they might look very odd (I hope not!)
As always, download is available in the Murrine Themes Gallery.

Thanks, their looks nice
Have you think about including http://www.deviantart.com/download/87655584/GNOME_Colors_by_perfectska04.zip in gnome-themes-extras ? (seems that you are the maintainer of it, also thanks for Foxtrot theme, this is the one I was using until now)
Thanks a lot

That emerald theme, are you thinking about its metacity clone?

Nice nice work Cimi, lovely

How about a linkt to the svn repository? I can’t find it anywhere on Murrines site.

Hmm… managed to download the latest Murrine-SVN snapshot, compile it and install it with no problems, but the new themes aren’t displaying correctly (blocky widgets etc.).
Am I doing something wrong?

@15:
two possible causes: 1) you need to restart gnome in order to load the new library 2) you forgot to add –prefix=/usr to the autogen.sh
5 September, 2008 alle 22:56
@ Cimi:
1) Gnome has been restarted many times now 2) the command I used to compile murrine-svn was ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr –enable-animation

which errors are printed in the terminal when running a gtk+ program?
6 September, 2008 alle 0:08
@ Cimi:
Running pcmanfm from terminal gives me:
/home/izo/.themes/MurrinaCream/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:279: Invalid symbolic color ‘bg_color’
/home/izo/.themes/MurrinaCream/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:279: error: invalid identifier `bg_color’, expected valid identifier
However, curiously, Firefox seems to render the theme fine…

really strange… which gnome version are you running?
6 September, 2008 alle 14:00
Hi Cimi,
I’m using Ubuntu Hardy and the Murrine svn from the ppa repo:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gtk2-engines-murrine/
The thing is that on my laptop the MurrinaChrome is rendered differently from your screenshot. The contrast of tabs and the different separators is white, more or less like Oxygen, while buttons don’t have any border at all.
Which contrast setting are you using?
I noticed that there is another option about the button borders as well….How does it work? What are your settings? Default ones?
If you tell me how, i can also share a screenshot of this with you…
6 September, 2008 alle 14:09
@ Cimi:
I’m running GNOME 2.22, Linux Mint Elyssa (based on Ubuntu Hardy).

@21:
that PPA is unofficial, and I’m not supporting it.
anyway did you read the blog entry? “They require the latest Murrine SVN snapshot”
6 September, 2008 alle 14:10
@22: sorry, I have no ideas. use ubuntu, not mint…
6 September, 2008 alle 14:12
@ Cimi:
No problem. Thanks for trying.

6 September, 2008 alle 18:07
Yep, that’s the problem, the repository is outdated, I didn’t notice that….
Keep up the good work…

I like MurrinaCandido theme, it’s so sample as I like it, and I used right now as a default theme on my system.
Thanks a lot, Murrine engine r0x

Can someone point me in the direction of the SVN repo and instructions?
7 September, 2008 alle 12:02
@ Cimi:
I do know that may sound kinda weird, but i suggest you to try these themes with Murrine SVN 20080529.
The buttons don’t have borders at all, but tabs and frames in general show a very nice effect, with light borders similar to Oxygen’s.
Let me know what you think.
8 September, 2008 alle 12:48
Nevermind. I found out how to do it from an old archived newsgroup. You should consider making the following much easier to find!
# svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ murrine
8 September, 2008 alle 13:01
Very nice themes, I love Murrina Cream. Can I have the wallpaper?
Thanks
14 September, 2008 alle 7:24
I love these themes! Even though they’re not supposed to be killer themes, they almost are.

Hi cimi,
I would like to ask you an important question. Is there a way to change the menubar/toolbarstyle (gradient in particular, but also glassy and striped) when
GtkMenuBar/GtkToolbar ::shadow_type = GTK_SHADOW_NONEGTK_SHADOW_NONE is activated?
Thanks in advance
