I would consider making a donation for this if the developer responses.

Very interested because of the gnome 2 fork and further development for the MATE desktop environment for these engines.

Does this theme support both gtk2 and gtk 3 ? Is the developer still alive for this project btw?

Please, a GTK3 port of Murrine engine will be very very nice :

- to harmonize different toolkits themes (GTK3 with GTK2 look like)
- to get GTK3 apps better appearance.


Thank you in advance!

I'm using it - a self-compiled version -for a long time now and it's simply one of the best GNOME features.

It would be nice if we could set transparency levels via a panel, without a need to edit support.h and compile the whole thing.

EXCELLENT as usual.

If I change gradient_shade for togglebuttons, comboboxes are affected. My theme is here.

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Function?content=133074

I was able to isolate the togglebuttons for RhythmBox. Tying to get same look for other togglebuttons without affecting comboboxes. Any help appreciated.

hi, when trying to compile the murrine engine (I am currently using 0.91 git):
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation

I was getting this error:
checking for GTK... no
configure: error: GTK+-2.18 is required to compile murrine

so I wwent to check versions and I get:

$ dpkg -l libgtk[0-9]* | grep ^i

ii libgtk2-gladexml-perl 1.007-1
ii libgtk2-perl 1:1.221-4ubuntu2
ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-0ubuntu2
ii libgtk2.0-bin 2.20.1-0ubuntu2
ii libgtk2.0-cil 2.12.9-4
ii libgtk2.0-common 2.20.1-0ubuntu2
ii libgtk2.0-doc 2.20.1-0ubuntu2

I am a noob and may very well be missing something here, am I doing something wrong? If not, what do I need to do to make it work? Any help would be very welcomed.

Yes you can. Open the SCR folder and look inside a file named support.h. Here there are some settings you can change to set up the opacity, for example, this is mine:

/* Opacity settings */
#define GRADIENT_OPACITY 0.50
#define WINDOW_OPACITY 0.60
#define ENTRY_OPACITY 0.70
#define NOTEBOOK_OPACITY 0.60
#define MENUBAR_OPACITY 0.90
#define MENUBAR_GLOSSY_OPACITY 0.90
#define MENUBAR_STRIPED_OPACITY 0.70
#define TOOLBAR_OPACITY 0.70
#define TOOLBAR_GLOSSY_OPACITY 0.70
#define MENU_OPACITY 0.60
#define TOOLTIP_OPACITY 0.70

Then save the file and compile

Hi Cimi,

Great improvements in 0.90.2, thanks. But the new focus_color option is blocking me. Is there any way to disable it?

At the moment I am doing like this:

engine "murrine" {
focus_color = @bg_color
}

I would suggest you to improve focus drawing with more options...

engine "murrine" {
focus_style = 0 # 0 = no focus, 1 = focus without borders, 2 = focus with borders, 3 = glow focus
focus_borders = {1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0} # {left, top, right, bottom}
focus_color = @selected_bg_color
}

Regards

With the release of 0.90, murrine is one of the best theme engines :) Thanks for your work, Cimi.

Also, could you tell me what themes you're using in the second and third screenshots ?? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Hello cimi, I've updated to the latest svn, the calendar had rounded corners before, now it's gone. Can we expect it to be back? Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand this release.

I am currently using Murrine SVN revision 145. Is this release newer than that? Does this release include all of the improvements that were in the SVN versions like progressbarstyle and such?

Also, if it is, are we going to see some updated documentation about the new engine options?

svn trunk is always the bleeding edge. 0.90.0 is trunk revision 149.

the option definitions are located into /usr/share/gtk-engines/murrine.xml
