A fun, playful, colourful theme that tries to give a crisp and distinct feel to your desktop. GTK+, Metacity, and BMP/XMMS themes included. A work in progress...
I'm actually having a bit of problems with getting this theme to work. I'm using gnome-2.14.2. When I try to install the theme using gnome-theme-manager I recive: "The file format is invalid"
It seems that all of the themes I got from [link] can't be installed on my system. If anyone is interested you could take a look at a thread I created on [link]: [link]
I've read the journal. Wouldn't it help if I had extracted Cobble-gtk-theme.zip using unzip, and after that made it to a .gz tarball? Well, I tried, and it made no difference.
I also tried putting the extracted directory in /usr/share/themes, among with the other themes. It doesn't work.
i too have this issue. i have unpacked the themes, placed them in the theme directory--no good. same with attempting to targz them after unzipping them--it doesn't recognize the format.
I found out what was wrong. It seems that cobble isn't a theme ment for theme manager.. Hmm, it's hard to explain what I mean, but extracting it with tar and putting it in the gnome theme directory makes it appear in the "Theme details" section in the gnome-theme-manager. That worked for me at least.. Sorry for the late response...
Love all your themes bro, What font are you using for folder names etc? Is that bitstream-vera? what family and size. Also where can i get that Nautilus background?
k, im out of questions. Love your style of work. keep it coming!
just some creative criticism, try setting
bg[SELECTED] = "#797979"
or something like that, to give your metacity frame a gray-ish look. not just pitch-black.
In my opinion, its looks nicer, also you get to see when you roll over a "button" that it turns to black, and not just dissapears.
just a thought i had, trying out your theme for the first time just about now.
Looks excellent over all, just that little thing i thought about.
okey, ah well, i noticed that there were just Some metacity themes that reacted weirdly. some actually gave the colors i expected. like lightblue. (regarding my 1st notice)
