Gtkrc Help Needed.

Add this line to gtkrc file:

gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=20,20anel=16,16:gtk-button=24,24:gtk-large-toolbar=30,30"

Customize the size according to your preferences.

^Thanx, but i kinda fiddled with the theme yesterday night and got it working.

P.S : How abt writing a "How to make gtk+ themes?"

Actually it'd be a real tuff job. It would vary for engine to engine. And gtk theming part is the worst component of gtk when it comes to documentation. No practically useful documentation exists!

^Yeah , that was the reason why i asked you for a how-to.
I tried to get a decent how-to on the net, but even after half-an-hour of searching, i coudnt find a single one.

Wonder how all these themer's started their theming days?

^Thanx , but i use Xfce , and the set from gnome-look works fine with no modifications.

Guys, I need a no frills color chooser app, having to run gimp to just to know the hex of a color is crappy.

for gnome gcolor2 is great.
can't recollect anything for Xfce.

^Just what i was looking for.
Thanx, its a gtk+ app and needs no gnome deps.

Ok , First up, Apologies for bumping an old thread.
But i figured a new thread is pretty much useles for the small query i had.

As for the question,
What widget class do i have to set style to , to theme the handles on the panel?

Handles on the panel?? Cudn't get you...

By Handles i mean the grip like thingies that appear as the seperators and also before and after the system tray and others.

Sorry, dont know how else to explain.

Oh yes.. thats called handle alrite I'll show a sample here using the pixmap engine. The widget class is GtkHandleBox :

style "myhandlebox" = "default"

{
engine "pixmap"

{
image
{
function = SHADOW
}

image
{
function = HANDLE
recolorable = TRUE
overlay_file = "handle-vertical.png"
overlay_stretch = FALSE
orientation = VERTICAL
}

image
{
function = HANDLE
overlay_file = "handle-horizontal.png"
overlay_stretch = FALSE
orientation = HORIZONTAL

}

}
}

class "GtkHandleBox" style "myhandlebox"

You can use the relevant pixmap. If you wanna use default one then use something like clearlooks/aurora/murrina engine. Hope this helps

^Ah Thanx .
Ill try it and let you know if it works.
