The Shimmer Project released version 0.6 of Greybird. Since this was a quick release, I did not make gtk-engine-unico a strict "depends" yet. See below if you want to understand my dilemma.

The Shimmer Project released version 0.5 of Greybird. It comes with both GTK2 and GTK3 fixes. Should I make gtk-engine-unico a depends, or leave it as an optdepends? GTK3 applications are slowly but surely replacing GTK2. Sadly, gtk-engine-unico is only available through the AUR, as it hasn't yet been adopted on the Community repository. Changing it from an optdepends to a depends would mean that users of xfce-theme-greybird would automatically pull in the gtk3 package. Not sure how light some people prefer to keep their systems, so I may leave it as an optdepends for now. Later, I might have to just go ahead and change it to a legitimate dependency in light of the pace GTK3 is spreading.

The Shimmer Project released version 0.4 of Greybird four days ago. It comes with bugfixes throughout the theme, including GTK3 fixes.

@unhammer That's true. Any customizations or changes written in ~/.gtkrc2.0 will override the global theme. While this can cause conflicts, it can also be used to tweak a personal theme without having to mess with any global files. Such an example is enabling the Nautilus "breadcrumbs" location bar with the proper files and modifications to ~/gtkrc-2.0.

ah, fixed it myself, had to delete ~/.gtkrc-2.0* :)

I get this fugliness: http://bildr.no/image/1085088.jpeg (installed both optdepends, didn't help, did select greybird in both Appearance and Window Manager …)

@Diaz "I don't rememberever changing any style for firefox so i think this is how it looks by default..." That's exactly how it looks for me as well. From what I understand, Firefox's interface is written in XUL, which draws in GTK for the Linux platform. It's not native GTK like Epiphany, Thunar, Evince, GIMP, Nautilus, and all the other applications commonly found in GNOME or Xfce. I do not know if this can be fixed from the themer's end. You can try asking in the Shimmer page (linked in the description), but I wouldn't get my hopes up. This is simply how Firefox's GUI is built.

Hey, this is what i mean the tabs look different: http://ompldr.org/vYmdodw It feels weird and sometimes out of place, the spacing and the shadows. I don't rememberever changing any style for firefox so i think this is how it looks by default... If i there's any way to inprove the look i think many would be happy ;) Thanks.

@Diaz Do you mean that the tabs in Firefox do not match any theme you apply? (As in they remain the same, regardless of theme?) Or do you mean that the tabs change according to the theme selected, but they still do not look "quite right"? If it's the latter, then I know what you mean. I think that is just how Firefox's XUL interface works. Not sure if there is anything that can be done about it. Hopefully someone else might have an idea or tweak that can be done for those that are not happy with how Firefox's tabs look. When using Opera, the tabs look fine to me (closer to how a normal GTK tab would look.) Not perfect, but better.
