If I follow those instructions (using the new special build, see previous emails), and change the name to "Metal", then sure enough hgtk log highlights better, but the window I start hgtk log from says: c:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\library.zip\hggtk\gdialog.py:93: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "metal", Even though the string in the gtkrc file is "Metal". Trying other settings (I quit the log viewer, make the changes, then restart) Setting the Theme to Emacs seems to have no effect, the highlighting under "Emacs" is still unreadable. Same for "Default". Same for "MS-Windows" (the value it was before I started changing it. :) ) Same for "Raleigh". "Redmond95" is a weirder case. The highlighting still is unreadable, -and-, it burps out: c:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\library.zip\hggtk\gdialog.py:93: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engi ne in module_path: "redmond95", I'm using the same name/case as the directory names in the share\themes directory, is that what was intended? -Doug P.S. Thanks, I'm looking forward to hammering on the pre-releases for 0.7, lots of new yummy goodness improvements!! -Doug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
