Title: amule Aspect
Post by: wisdoom on February 19, 2004, 12:18:17 PM

Hello,

I just installed amule and everythig works fine !

(...without firewall...)

But I have a question concerning the graphical aspect of amule.
I saw in the screenshots that buttons are kind of "3D" buttons.

But in my amule, everything is absolutely -flat-.

It is based on what ?
On my general graphic theme ?
Is it possbile to configure something so as i have the same aspect as on the screnshots ?

Thank you for your answer,

wisdoom

If i'm not completely mistaken, aMule makes use of gtk. So if you set up a "flat" gtk design aMule will look like that.
Try to change your gtk theme and aMule should also change its look.
Don't forget to restart aMule to get the changes active.

Well,

That's strange.
I now use Gnome with my redhat 9, and I use a theme with my gnome.
I have a .gtkrc in my ~home and a .gtkrc-2.0 also.

But my aMule is still the same !
No theme applied on it. Still flat and... ugly !

The good news is that it works pretty well !

Any idea concerning my physical considerations  :D

Thank you
Wisdoom

To change the amule look in rh9 you have to change your ~/.gtkrc
The rh9 defaults are set up to give your system the rh Bluecurve (tm) look ;)
Just look into /usr/share/themes and check what gtk (1!) themes you can find.
This is a rh standard ~/.gtkrc:

Code: [Select]

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk/gtkrc"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDITChange it to (this should work on almost every rh9 box)

Code: [Select]

include "/usr/share/themes/ThinIce/gtk/gtkrcand restart amule - you should see a difference. Now you just have to find a theme you like.

There sure is a better way to change the themes - take a look into your Preferences Menu or the gnome-control-center to figure out how.
