I remember there was a thread about these topics, but I think it was only in the context of resolving build conflicts. That is not my problem: I can build and merge these packages just fine.
My problem is that the adwaita theme, on which the last stable gtk+2 depends, gives a totally new look to my desktop. Round buttons instead of square ones, menus not clearly set off from the background, minimalist scroll-bars without thumbs or arrows, etc. The last example also shows that the changes go beyond mere looks into functionality, and in the end that's why this "upgrade" will remain a no-no for me. Up until now, I have been masking the last gtk+2 version to prevent this from going through, but I worry about the security implications. So I am looking for a way to let the new packages in but then configure gtk to get the old facade back. But I don't know how: I have always used the gtk defaults for these things because they were agreeable enough. So how do I configure this stuff, given that I do _not_ use gnome or any other integrated desktop? I just need to edit some text files, dammit. Which ones and what edits are needed? Or maybe I need to install another theme and use it instead of adwaita, but then how to tell this to gtk? -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://primate.net/~itz/blog/the-problem-with-gpg-signatures.html
