Description: GtkGNUstep is a Gtk2 theme that matches the widgets used by default in the WindowMaker/GNUStep environment.
This theme is intended to be installed on computers having a WindowMaker/GNUStep environment, so as to harmonize the look of any gtk applications being used. The widgets are an exact match wherever possible.
The theme is great, but i have a problem with color contrast in some parts.
In this time, look at the color contrast with the text on the emesene app here: http://img143.imageshack.us/i/msnnn.png/
And then on the selected item and the text on the progress bar on the uget app here: http://img268.imageshack.us/i/uget.png/
Can you say some tips to solve this?
Thanks anyway.
Hello. For the uget, try editing this file:
gtk-2.0/Styles/default
In lines 62 and 63 you have:
fg[SELECTED] = "#909090"
fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#909090"
I am not sure which one applies to this case. Try changing the values to something like #606060 to turn the text darker.
For the msn capture, according to Gimp, the text color is #aaaaaa, but I dont use that in the theme. Maybe it is set by the program. It will be possible to turn the background darker, tough. In the same file, in line 66 you have:
bg[NORMAL] = "#B0B0B0"
Try using something lower like #A0A0A0.
Keep in mind that this changes apply to all elements. Not only those that did not look too well!
P.S. do not forget to restart for the changes to have effect.
Regards.

Hello my friend, thanks for response.
Well, nothing get better than the "B0B0B0" on the 66º line (bg[NORMAL]).
And really, the problem is the emesene, sorry for that, so i drop it and get the last version git (emesene2) and no problem more. :)
But the 62º and the 63º lines, i've changed to this and i think that get better appearance in general:
fg[SELECTED] = "#c0c0c0"
fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#606060"
Firefox trolls, when click something in the toolbar, but others apps no problem...
So, I'm wating for the new 4...
Cheers!
the most accurate resemblance with GNUStep and windowmaker I have ever got.
May be flat buttons are looking not ideal in some applications (like nautilus - it's variant of icon path and especially combobox that turns icon or table view for a folder).
Thanks. Observations are very welcome. You are quite right about the flat appearance of these buttons. It is not intended that way; I will see what can be done. I have listed some other mismatches in the little included readme file.

Any plans to port it to Gtk3 ? It would be wonderful.
This theme depends on gtk2-engines-pixbuf.
