GTK 3.x theme matching GTK 2.x Mist theme

I use a default Mist gtk2 theme for long time, but I was unable to find matching gtk3 theme.
So I've tried myself, and I've hacked gtk-theme-mist-redmond into https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-theme-mist-git/.
I'm pretty happy with the result, so if anybody is interested give it a try.
PS: I use basically only one gtk3 application - spacefm, but I've tested with widget factory and even evince looks quite decent.

Thanks karol,
Running 'pacman -Sqg gnome gnome-extra' produced a fairly long list, I removed the above 'requires <package>' packages from the list and ran pacman -Rns <long list!>
This threw up a few more errors, which were resolved by removing one or two more packages from the list until pacman would run
The following ran fine:
pacman -Rns baobab empathy eog epiphany evince gnome-backgrounds gnome-calculator gnome-contacts gnome-control-center gnome-dictionary gnome-disk-utility gnome-font-viewer gnome-icon-theme-extras gnome-keyring gnome-screenshot gnome-session gnome-shell gnome-system-log gnome-system-monitor gnome-terminal gnome-user-docs gnome-user-share mousetweaks mutter nautilus sushi totem tracker vino xdg-user-dirs-gtk yelp accerciser aisleriot anjuta brasero cheese devhelp evolution file-roller five-or-more four-in-a-row gnome-chess gnome-clocks gnome-color-manager gnome-devel-docs gnome-documents gnome-getting-started-docs gnome-klotski gnome-mahjongg gnome-mines gnome-nettool gnome-nibbles gnome-photos gnome-robots gnome-sudoku gnome-tetravex gnome-weather iagno lightsoff nautilus-sendto orca quadrapassel rygel swell-foop tali vinagre
pacman -Rns gnome-tweak-tool
As a result, I've removed about 950 MB of unwanted packages.
Thanks for the help.

Openbox Theme from GTK theme [beta]

Something like this surely exists, here is my version..
Creates an Openbox Theme from your chosen GTK Theme ... ..in 1), 2), 3)...
1) you need to launch your theme changing from a script like this (instead of calling your GTK switcher directly)
#!/bin/bash
# call your gtk theme switcher and as it quits create a matching openbox theme
# command for gtk theme switcher
lxappearance
# path to auto openbox theme generator script
~/bin/auto-openbox-theme
# launch obconf (so you can select the newly made theme)
obconf
exit
2) For that to work you also need this next script in ~/bin/auto-openbox-theme and made executable
#!/bin/bash
# Looks for the current GTK theme and automatically creates a matching Openbox theme
# The script fails on themes not following the Clearlooks convention..
# ..future improvements will account for this - for now the script politely fails on such themes.
# function used to see if script is generating empty results from GTK it can't handle yet
function emptycheck {
if [ -s $myfile ]
then
echo "$myfile has data."
else
echo "$myfile is empty."
xmessage "Sorry this gtk is not handled yet. You should not select the generated Openbox Theme this time."
exit

thanks, bye

Works fine here. Thanks for the script, it's quite handy and I got at last a nice OB theme witch fits with the murrina chrome gtk theme

Gedit and file-roller unresponsive caused by theme with gtk 3.6.1

When running either gedit or file-roller my whole system becomes very "laggy". The applications themselves become unusable after opening and then crash. When running in the terminal there is no error message just the word "killed" once the app crashes. I do not know what these two apps have in common I have not found any other applications on my computer with this problem. I re-installed arch yesterday and this problem appeared. Help?
Edit:
I'm running gnome 3.6 with gnome-shell on a 64bit install

I am also having this severe memory leak with Gedit. The theme I'm using is called "Delorean" (dark) and has animations (buttons animate from released to pressed, pretty nice). Let me see if finding a theme without animations fixes the problem for me too...
EDIT: Yup. This was the problem with me too. I tried satya164's theme (above) without animations and now Gedit doesn't crash anymore.
@satya164, would you style the carets in your Evolve theme so they are slightly thicker than normal? It's possible to make carets have color and thicker than 1 pixel in the new Gnome. For example, a nice thick caret matching the same vibrant blue color as the scroll bars (when clicked and dragged) would be nice.
I wonder if this issue had to do with my entire desktop crashing periodically in Gnome 3.6.1. It's been happening every session after a while with multiple things open and running. Let's see if removing animations fixed it.
EDIT (couple days later): My Gnome Desktop still crashes, so it's not theme related.
You mean the carets in the Entry widget? I think it's not possible to theme carets.
TIP: If you like dark theme, try by setting "Use dark theme for all applications" in Tweak Tool to use Evolve's dark theme.

hello quantumtech, could you go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

Looking for a theme that looks like the default theme.

I'm looking for a theme that looks exactly like the default theme, but that doesn't use the colours of my gnome theme. Right now I'm using a dark gnome theme that looks great, but looks horrible with firefox. Anybody got any suggestions?
Alternatively, is there another way to make firefox ignore my gtk theme?

I don't like the way firefox themes look, I want the default theme, but without gtk coloring. Surely it must be possible?

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

My Top Rated songs, when I synch my iP4S - comes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong?

I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car pato caa パトカア　they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

Select/highlight the ones that you want to change in your iTunes library, do Get-Info (control-I) and change their Media Kind on their Options tab to 'Music Video' - and then similarly for the podcasts.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?

You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

This could be problematic.
It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.
Example:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 600 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back. You will problably need a converter.
The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

I cannot pull up pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle

I cannot open pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get this exclamation point inside a triangle

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have several manuals in PDF format. How do I download them into my iPad and view them? I downloaded a PDF viewer on my iPad and via itunes I can download the PDF to the iPad although for some reason the iPad comes up as 'RmoteTV' with a sub-directory of 'Books'. The 'PDFReader' app doesn't seem to find the file.

You can use the free iBooks to read PDF files. Download the app, use itunes to transfer the data then open the PDFs.
There are other pdf readers as well. I see good reader recommended and I'm sure there are more.
