Stylizing GtkNotebook Tabs in Theme (gtkrc)

The check/radio marks in the Dark themes are now color-hinted too, just like they were in the Light themes since RC1.  Also, tiny icons like the selection-modes are now more spacey. I don't remember what else I improved (LOL).

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this topic!

Hi @migf1,

This looked interesting and I thought I'd give it a try. I'm running Arch Linux BTW. 

Here are a couple of things I ran into.

Concerning GTK2 installation for Linux.
Quote:5. Copy the libclearlooks.so file into the following folder:
       (whichever dir Gimp is installed in)/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finding the right package for your exact distro may prove challenging.
But if you make this work, it will save you a system-wide GTK2 installation,
because Gimp ships with its own GTK2 runtime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The path you reference in line item 5. is not part of my installation. I wish I was up on the finer points of GTK2 on Linux to explain this, but here is the file list of what is installed on my system.

That aside, I went ahead and installed the gtk2-engines package. The theme looks very nice and "mostly" works, but I am not getting the tab highlights for either the image or the tool panel tabs.

   

I haven't read this entire thread and maybe this problem has been mentioned before, so I'll sift through and see if I can find out why. Regardless, I appreciate your work on this and consider this an improvement for usability over the stock theme.

Cheers!
