See the gtkrc file for options! The Murrine Configurator does not work for all my options.

Have fun with it!Last changelog:
16-01-2007 (v0.5) -- Random minor little tweaks -- Improved glassy panel background -- Added more panel backgrounds -- See the gtkrc file for options on how to change the panel background
05-01-2007 (v0.4. & v0.1.4) -- Updated GTK themes to the latest Murrine version 0.40.1 -- Updated Emerald themes to Emerald 0.1.4 -- Added the latest hot stuff from the new murrine engine to my themes. -- Removed shade button from emerald themes. -- Did some renaming.I got confused.
I've noticed that this theme sort of "takes over" the gnome panel theming. To explain, if I were to choose to either use a solid color or background image instead of the panels included in your theme, there will be "spotty coloring" of the panel. For example the background of the notification area and the trash applet do not take on my background color or image. I've noticed this to be a problem in some Murrine themes, but not others (MurrinaGraphite doesn't do this for example). Is this a bug, or is there something I can change in the config file to prevent this. Thanks.
This is my 1st time using Murrina engine and i'd say i like it.
The only complaint is urgent windows in task bar, otherwise very nice theme(s)!
Thanks!
Hey I love the addition of the glassy panel look, but I was wondering if you could take that one step further and offer glassy panels that match the color of the themes.
I like the idea, but it doesn't look pretty without modifying some other things of the theme. And since this is a Clearlooks port, I do not want the theme to become something totally else.
Maybe I do something with it in the future.
But, I've made a striped and a gradient panel background image, so you'll be able to match it with the menubarstyle you like. It will come with the next release.
...how I could keep the old murrina background in the menubar (I'm not sure how it is called but it's located between the titlebar and toolbar)??
Personnaly I found it nicer than the last version.
Regards.

Download that image and replace it with the ones located in the folder of my themes.
/home/`whoami`/.themes/MurrinaFancyAncient/gtk-2.0/panel_bg.png for example.
I only rotated the image 180 degrees. I did it because it fits better with the new glaze style I used.

Ow, I guess you meant something else right?
Open the gtkrc file located in my themes folder, scroll down a little bit (line 49 here), and change this:
menubarstyle = 2
to
menubarstyle = 3
Then reload the theme. There are more options there. You can also use the Murrine Configurator to change these things.
I've been using Your theme for some time and got really anxious to see what's new.
I'm using ArchLinux.I updated the engine to the 0.40.1, all other murrine themes seem to work perfectly. Your pack doesn't, it's like the engine wouldn't work. Look below for what I mean.

I can't seem to find the guilty party so mayby You could help a bit :)
Did you try to restart X?
When I installed the new engine it didn't 'understand' the new options with the oldskool ugly theme as a result.When I removed the new options the theme worked again. It seemed like it just had the old engine loaded in its memory or something. So it doesn't know what to do with the new options.
Hmm, I don't know then.
You could try to recompile it again, maybe there are some errors in the output or something.
You could also try to edit the gtkrc file of a theme that works, and put some of the new options in there (see the changelog of the murrine engine).
Just to make sure, I downloaded my themepack, removed my themes from my .themes folder and copied the downloaded ones into it, and it works fine. So there must be something wrong with the engine on your side. Otherwise contact Cimi about the problem. (the creator of the engine)
My bad. I had the engine PKGBUILD misconfigured.
Sorry for all the fuss, and thanks for the great theme.
For the interested, working PKBUILD for latest murrine engine for Archlinux :

When I run your themes, the menu bar at the top (Apps, Places, System, and Launchers) is slightly larger than if I wasn't running your themes. This isn't too much of a problem, except it causes my icons for my launchers to be extended by 1 pixel, which makes them really fuzzy. I can post an image if you need me to.
If you could get this fixed, that could be great.

Link broken, fix or delete.
i've mentioned it months and months before that the link is broken? who the **** cares it????????
As posted above the link is broken, please fix.
i think link is broken, i can not reach it.
I only wished it were less squary with elements a little bit more round.
You can adjust the "roundness" parameter in the gtkrc file. Or use the Murrine Configurator program; download link above.
You could try my MurrinaLooks theme: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=52752

Is it possible to get rid of the box around text in task list? I mean just text on the texture...
This is my 1st time using Murrina engine and i'd say i like it. The only complaint is urgent windows in task bar, otherwise very nice theme(s)! Thanks!

Yep, restarted X, restarted the computer, nothing helped. I can't seem to understand what's wrong.
