Description Daniel Tourde 2007-11-05 19:27:44 UTC

Hello,

I have been unmasking and building the eXperience theme and to my big surprise I cannot select it in the theme selector (It's not there...)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask gtk-engines-experience ( =x11-themes/gtk-engines-experience-0.10.4 ~x86 in /etc/portage/package.keywords)
2. emerge experience
3. open the Gnome theme selector

Actual Results:  
No eXperience theme to choose

Expected Results:  
The eXperience theme in the selector

maybe that's because you need to actually install a theme. iirc engines often doesn't install demonstration themes with it so you have to go pick one on the internet.

there is a good change this is because newer theme capplet got stricter, here is the output I get when starting it on the console:

/usr/share/themes/eXperience-olive/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:334: Impossible de trouver le fichier à inclure : « tweaks/apply_styles »

ok, I finally identified the problem. The real problem here is that the experience theme doesn't include index.theme files which are needed by gnome-appearance-properties to find theme associations. Please bug the creator of this theme to fix it, it's fairly simple to do and then we can bump it. Thanks for reporting.
