Any one use Gtk2 theme selector, i can't get it to change to a different theme, i used it to change to my current theme..-clear looks human dark- but can't try any of the other ones now. I restarted gimp but it still doesn't change.
thanks
Andy

I am pretty sure that theme selector is buggy in Windows systems.It doesn't work in Windows XP either.
Use Gimpers - http://gimp-tutorials.net/downloads/gim ... s-v1-0.zip

Install it - open the theme program and select a theme...click okay to except the gtkrc file overwrite.
This only works well for Gimp-2.6 versions though.As it copies theme folders and engines into gimp-2.6 directories.

Thanks Rod
that's the one i used, i'm stuck on that theme i guess
i may just reinstall gimp

i uninstalled the theme selector and am back to the default

Remember you can only change the theme through the Themes-v-1.0 program itself, not through Edit/Preferences/Themes.Did you try using the theme selector the program installs into the bin folder?

Alternatively you can just place all the dll engine files in the
C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\engines folder
Normally the theme installer does this for you.Just check to see if they are there.

And then just pick a theme folder gtkrc file


And then paste the file in your user/.gimp-2.6 folder for instance mine is here.
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner.FAMILY-ROOM\.gimp-2.6

Where Compaq_Owner.FAMILY-ROOM is your user name folder.
(it will overwrite the existing one), so make a backup if you wish.

Restart Gimp


Pretty easy to do it that way whenever you want to change themes.

BTW apparently the gimpernet theme switcher didn't work on Partha 2.7 builds

No it does not work with Gimp-2.7 UNLESS you move the files into the program directory like i just explained.
The theme gtkrc files and engine (DLL) files will work on any version of gimp installed.I even have it working on Gimp-1.2









You just have to move things around a little.
