Convention is to put it in /usr/share/themes but it can go anywhere.
You can source it systemwide with
/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
and the include line should have the absolute path in double quotes
Alternatively, you can source the file from
~/.gtkrc-2.0
and it should work.
Or if you use gnome, just download the tarball and install the theme
by pointing the gnome theme manager to the tarball. Similarly with
xfce4. I don't know how it works on KDE.
It will change all the gkt+2 stuff, not just coot.

Thank you for your swift reply!
Anticipating problems with the space in the name, I had initially
changed the directory name to Glossy_P (-no space). However,
changing it back, and pointing to it in the way you indicated, does
not help...
Is there a particular directory where Glossy P needs to be sitting?
Or where the .gtkrc-2.0 file (containing the include "/usr/share/
themes/Glossy\ P/gtk-2.0/gtkrc") needs to be placed? (I tried ~/, or
COOT subdirectories etc and themes)
Or did I miss out something in my path? (for COOT it points at the
bin directory of the current COOT download)
Many thanks for your time and suggestions!

Subject: Re: Glossy_P gtk+2
That would be my fault.
On Ubuntu, I have this:
% more /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
include "/usr/share/themes/Glossy\ P/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
gtk-font-name = "Sans 13"
The one difference I see is the escaped space rather than the
underscore, so verify which you should have.

Dear All,
I am using coot 0.5.2 on a PC (i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo 2.20GHz
GNU/Linux) under mandriva 2008.
I tried to install the Glossy_P gtk +2 themes as described in the
coot wiki.
To get this effect, you need the Glossy_P gtk+2 theme:
http://art.gnome.org/download/themes/gtk2/571/GTK2-Glossy_P.tar.gz
Edit a file called ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and put into it the following line:
include "/usr/share/themes/Glossy_P/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
However: no effect...
I've tried to copy the Glossy_P/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in various places,
including
the subdirectories 'themes' and 'etc' of my current coot download
(coot-Linux-i386-redhat-8.0-gtk1-python). Without effect...
any help to gloss my coot would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Stefan
