Bug 350477 – x11-themes/gtk-engines-xfce-2.7.0 should contain 'Xfce-4.6' theme

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vladimir 2011-01-03 15:52:05 UTC]

Hello!
I just would like to say that it would be good if x11-themes/gtk-engines-xfce-2.7.0 included the 'Xfce-4.6" theme, since it had a very nice colouring scheme which many users (including me) probably liked.
It contains the 'Xfce-4.0', 'Xfce-4.2' and 'Xfce-4.4', but not 'Xfce-4.6' unfortunately.
So is it possible and is it going to be added?

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

The Default Xfce theme was changeed for Xfce 4.8.0.
We are not point to port Xfce 4.6.0 themes to Xfce4 4.8.0.
will remove gtk-engines-2.6.0 from tree by end of this month.

In other words, there is nothing that Gentoo can/will do. You can file a request upstream at bugzilla.xfce.org though if it is important to you.

Hm.. But there are themes from earlier versions of Xfce (4.0, 4.2, 4.4) present. Why cannot it be done for Xfce-4.6 theme?

Oh, you mean that this is not to be done by Gentoo project, am I right? Well, if so, I will request it upstream.
Thanks!
