Description Luis Medinas 2012-01-01 13:50:47 UTC 
After installing the themes i switched the window theme (mutter) using g-t-t and ambiance/radiance don't work.

The gtk theme work ok the problem is only on the window theme

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, I don't use Gnome 3 and I cannot test it easily.

Maybe the Gnome team has a clue.
Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-01-01 16:43:39 UTC 
You need to restart gnome-shell after switching the mutter theme (Alt-F2 → r).

Of course i tried that, but it doesn't use the ambience/radiance window theme.
Comment 4 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-01-01 17:52:30 UTC 
Looks like mutter thinks that the Ambiance window theme is invalid:
> Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Ambiance": Line 417 character 82: Element <shadow> is not allowed below <frame_style>

Added a patch to mutter for compatibility with Ubuntu's apparently non-standard theme syntax.
