Gnome 3.6 default GTK2 theme

[Michael Cronenworth]

... is a major step down from Gnome 3.4 and previous.

Problems:
- GtkFrame widgets have no color. They do not show up at all now. This
was the default in GTK3 for a while but I filed a bug and had it changed.
- A 1px black line on all widget box borders. Very visually unappealing.
Thunderbird shows this most visibly.
- When you click on a application menu bar item the text changes to
white. The menu bar is already white so the text essentially disappears.
- The scroll bar used to be a close match to the GTK3 bar but now it
looks like something from 1997.
- The mouse-over color for GtkCheckBoxes is black. The whole widget and
surrounding area turns black.
- Buttons in Firefox are black (with black text!) until you mouse over.
Just go to http://bugzilla.gnome.org and look at the buttons. You'll
just see a black boxes.

QT apps use the GTK2 theme so QT apps are affected as well.

I would hope a bug for these issues was already opened, but if no one
can point me to one I will open one.

Thanks,
Michael

I see the difference in frame rendering; we should get that fixed. But all the other
points don't happen here. Not sure what to say.

My 2 year old ~/.gtkrc-2.0 still existed. Not sure why I had one.

Moving it out of the way fixes all the issues except for the GtkFrame
one. I'll file a bug. Sorry for the noise.

Just for reference removing ~/.config/Trolltech.conf, fixed a similar 
issue I had with Qt windows

Hi Matthias,

Upstream closed my bug and pushed[1] a fix to master. Would you be able
to patch the F18 package for this change? Would you like me to open a
Fedora bug?

Thanks,
Michael

We'll try to roll up some more bug fixes for a final 3.6 update of
gnome-themes-standard. May take a few days, though.

Thanks.

I have filed another bug in regards to GtkEntry background coloring.
When this gets fixed it should be included, too.

Any update on this? Could we see GTK 2.24.16 and the latest 3.6 update
for themes?

Thanks,
Michael
