I remember there was a thread about these topics, but I think it was |
| 2 |
only in the context of resolving build conflicts. That is not my |
| 3 |
problem: I can build and merge these packages just fine. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
My problem is that the adwaita theme, on which the last stable gtk+2 |
| 6 |
depends, gives a totally new look to my desktop. Round buttons instead |
| 7 |
of square ones, menus not clearly set off from the background, |
| 8 |
minimalist scroll-bars without thumbs or arrows, etc. The last example |
| 9 |
also shows that the changes go beyond mere looks into functionality, and |
| 10 |
in the end that's why this "upgrade" will remain a no-no for me. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Up until now, I have been masking the last gtk+2 version to prevent this |
| 13 |
from going through, but I worry about the security implications. So I |
| 14 |
am looking for a way to let the new packages in but then configure gtk |
| 15 |
to get the old facade back. But I don't know how: I have always used |
| 16 |
the gtk defaults for these things because they were agreeable enough. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So how do I configure this stuff, given that I do _not_ use gnome or any |
| 19 |
other integrated desktop? I just need to edit some text files, dammit. |
| 20 |
Which ones and what edits are needed? Or maybe I need to install |
| 21 |
another theme and use it instead of adwaita, but then how to tell this |
| 22 |
to gtk? |
