Murrine 0.90.1 and 0.90.2, and happy GNOME 2.26.0! 18 March, 2009
Today should be released GNOME 2.26.0? Yes, so congrats to us! 
Talking about Murrine, I’ve released 0.90.1 and 0.90.2 which contains mainly bugfixes.
0.90.1 was relased with a typo (sorry!!!) which caused a crash, thanks bitzer for pointing that out.
Changelog for 0.90.1
Changes in this release:
- High roundness values are now correctly limited.
- Use focus_color in draw_entry if the theme uses it.
- Removed shadows from GtkCombo and GtkComboBoxEntry.
- Code polishing and bugfixing.
Changelog for 0.90.2
Requires Gtk+ 2.12.0
Changes in this release:
- Fixed a crash when using focus_color.

Hi, your Chrome-like theme has a problem with the default button focus with this version.
Screenshot: http://www.alice-dsl.net/~towolf/img/murrina-chrome.png
Do you have an update for it?
18 March, 2009 alle 14:23
This is the focus

“Today should be released GNOME 2.26.0?”
I thought so too! Maybe I’m suffering from the early-timezone-syndrome.
18 March, 2009 alle 15:29
@Victor I’m suffering it too
Congratulations for both your work Cimi

Hi!
Please, can you update MurrinaBlue.tar.bz2 and MurrinaElement.tar.gz from using the old hilight_ratio option to the new highlight_shade option?
ciao,
David

Da questa versione c’รจ un problema con l’opzione focus_color e le entry: se imposto un colore con focus_color = “#xxxxxx” mi crasha ogni finestra che ha una GtkEntry.

Cimi, is it supposed to look like that, i.e., only a dark blue line on the bottom?
18 March, 2009 alle 20:45
A line and a small colored rectangle above

0.90.2 is in jaunty, main.

“Cimi, is it supposed to look like that, i.e., only a dark blue line on the bottom?”
I get those on my tabs too.. It looks very weird on both the tabs and the buttons.
I personally think the tabs should not have anything like that unless someone chooses to use a graphic or something that puts the style there.
Also, I think that the line on the buttons should be on the very bottom border.. It would probably look better than having the line be a pixel or two from the bottom, like it is now.
Is there is a way to change this active style on the buttons?
By the way, thank you for all the cool work you have done thus far!

Where is the documentation for configuration options?
19 March, 2009 alle 19:22
Hi Cimi,
When I saw that dark line under the coloured rectangle I thought it was some kind of glitch, so I asked in the forums and then filed a bug:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1099713
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-murrine/+bug/345410
As you can see, this got people scratching their heads wondering whether it indeed is a bug. It really does look like one. Please reconsider replacing it with a whole box, coloured on all four sides.
19 March, 2009 alle 19:27
Thank you david, if the people can’t recognize it as the focus ring maybe this is a good reason to change.
I will keep your suggestion in mind.

Thanks and congratulations on the release

Hello,
How can we “port” a theme designed for the previous major release (0.53.1) to the new version of murrine engine ? Murrine has been updated in Debian, and now my theme is looking like sh**.
Are there special steps to re-adapt my theme to the new engine or is it just completely incompatible now ?

Here is a link to a gallery containing the before and after screenshots:

There’s abviously a contrast problem, but there’s also an ugly black line above the statusbar I can’t get rid of: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5593/screenshotapeletefilebr.png.
Thanks for your help.
20 March, 2009 alle 19:38
Remove “contrast = ..” options in the gtkrc.
0.53.1 had a broken algorithm (clearlooks had it too), I have fixed them in Murrine 0.90.0 and gtk-engines 2.16.0

Hi.
Just wanted to leave a comment that I’m having a lot of fun with your engine: http://tedil.deviantart.com/art/Featuring-murrineRGBA-and-Dust-116545280
(I actually tried something different from the glass-style and changed the dust theme to use murrine, edited a few option and created a matching emerald theme…)

I also have some problems with the GtkWidget focus line style of the new Murrine engine.
I disabled it because it was ugly (looks like a bug) and make selected lines look strange in list view in my file browser.
I too think you should change it in the next version, perhaps make it look like the Clearlooks focus style if possible, or revert to the old dotted line focus style (it was ok, even if not superb).
21 March, 2009 alle 0:57
No, it doesn’t look like a bug and it’s not ugly.
Maybe you may not like it but it is really cool and usable with a bounce of themes.
I have already implemented a clearlooks-like version for murrine (I’m also the clearlooks maintainer and the author of the clearlooks focus), but because people must recognize it immediatly (*it must* looks as a focus at first sight).
21 March, 2009 alle 1:20
It’s not ugly as a focus style, but it affects selected lines in nautilus in a bad way when you have list view enabled: selected items are also underlined by that line, and THAT is not beautiful (nor cool).
I know you’re clearlooks maintainer, that’s why I had good hope that you may able to do it for Murrine too.
Anyway, the best part is that everything in your work is user configurable, and that’s really cool. Everyone can have it his way.
Thanks for that,
Keep it up.

New release! Looks good. I always liked Murrine.
I also was wondering how is the best way to port a theme to the new engine.
Here are the before and after screenshots:

Murrine 0.90.2: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/483315/ScreenshotMurrine0.90.2.png
And here is the gtkrc file if you want to take a look: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/483315/gtkrc
Thanks for you help. If there are any tools, or some way to debug, please let me know. Thanks!

I don’t think this is a bug of murrine, which errors do you see launching gtk+ applications from the terminal?
23 March, 2009 alle 2:49
I wasn’t claiming Murrine had a bug either. I was just wondering how to adjust my theme file to adapt to the new Murrine. Just to clarify…
This is what I get from a terminal when I start GTK+ applications:
$ gcalctool
(gcalctool:5356): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so) initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (micro mismatch)
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so is from the Murrine 0.90.2 package, I believe.
And I am using GTK+ 2.14.
Also, if there is a better way to get in touch to ask about this, just let me know. I know blog comments are not usually the place to ask for support…
Thanks again!
23 March, 2009 alle 2:57
as I guessed, this is not a murrine issue
You should have installed a broken package, install from source or search another package that will match your system libs.
26 March, 2009 alle 21:48
I’d also like some documentation for the configuration options.
And yet another nay from me, for the new focus thingie. IMH(humble)O, it would look great if not for the line on the bottom. Of course, setting GtkWidget::focus-line-width=0 fixes that, but it also shrinks every widget, and I’d rather not do that.
Aside from that, congratulations, and thanks for all your hard work! This is a wonderful GTK engine.
26 March, 2009 alle 21:58
Oh, hey! Nevermind my previous comment; I checked the SVN changelog, and found the good news. I updated to SVN, and I must say that this new one is much better. And the treeview focus isn’t bad like you say in the changelog, either.
Thank you for the update!

Hi Cimi, i’ve installed your latest murrine included in jaunty, and I like it very much (I’m using MurrinaBlu theme).
I’ve been experimenting RGBA support in applications, through the patches you’ve provided, and I’ve got a question…
Is it possible, application-side, to implement different alpha-channel areas?
I mean different parts of the same window (or even different windows of the same application) having different transparency.
22 April, 2009 alle 16:38
Hello.
It wanted to consult on two things.
First: As they are the plans to add support of rgba to clearlooks?
Secondly: A time ago, you participated in a forum of nvidia by a problem with the legacy controllers.
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=107825
Some news on the matter?
Murrine enchants to me!-) But I cannot use it for this reason, since use 96xx of the controller.
