We need a tarball of your ~/.gnome directory.  Note that once we find
the bug in the conversion scripts, you can rm -rf ~/.gnome2 and try
again.

You can see a detailed log of things in ~/.gnome2/debian-upgrade.log.  I
just added a note to this effect to the error dialog.

Indeed I'm not; thanks for CC'ing me (usually I _expect_ to get CCs, since
most mail clients do that by default, but for some reason I never do when I
post a query to debian lists...).

OK; I'll send when I get to work (where my unstable machine is).  If it's
very big, should I send it to you personally instead of this list?

Thanks,

`gnome-approved' dark-background theme for gnome 2?

2002-10-28 Thread Miles Bader
Gnome 2.0 has hit unstable, and all my carefully crafted settings blew
up (it mumbled something about converting them, but the conversion
failed; it'd be nice if it told you why...).

I've now got things halfway-sane again, and the major remaining
irritation is the lack of any `dark' themes -- everything that shows up
in the Themes control-center widget* is some minor variation on `MS
Windows grey'.

When I try to use one my old dark themes that worked with gnome 1 (by
renaming the `gtk' subdir in the theme directory to `gtk-2.0'), they
usually only half-work, e.g., lots of text is displayed as
black-on-dark-grey or something similarly unreadable.

However, I don't know whether the problem lies with the them or with
buggy apps (I've encounted many apps before that use the wrong fg color,
which is only noticable if you've got a theme very different from the
default), so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a `dark' theme that's been
approved for use with gnome 2.0, or that at least works for somebody...

* I've got the following gtk2 theme engine packages installed:

i   gtk2-engines-crux   - GTK+2.0 Crux theme engine
i   gtk2-engines-lighthouseblue - LighthouseBlue theme for GTK+ 2.0
i   gtk2-engines-metal  - Metallic theme for GTK+ 2.x
i   gtk2-engines-mist   - A flat theme for GTK+ 2.x
i   gtk2-engines-pixbuf - Pixbuf-based theme for GTK+ 2.x
i   gtk2-engines-thinice- ThinIce theme for GTK+ 2.0

Thanks,

-Miles
