A Lot of gtk2 Themes for Gimp can be easily edited by the user by opening the theme file and changing the relevent image

In the GreenHeart file I changed this Image menu.png

Image

For this Image

Image

Which resulted in this happening

Image

So far I have looked at 3 gtk2 files and they all used pixmap images in thier gtrc file

To do this I followed these steps

1/ Start by viewing this Youtube Video
2/ Now download these 15 gtk2 Themes for Gimp-2.8
3/ Install all 15 folders as per video

I have kept it short to allow you to play with your own pixmap image if your favourite theme is using them

Easier still go to end of page 2 for file and istructions

I do differ from the Video above in that I prefer to place the 15 gtk2 themes in my user file .gimp-2.8/themes, as this makes for a better files practice

I will have to play around with this.

I thought I'd try an image that was not a pattern

My little 64X64 image

Image

and this is the result

Image

Pixlemap in gtk2 works very effectivly, the gtk2 themes worked on 2-6-12 as well

gtk2 files seem to all differ like script files. I just start changing images and see what happens, you need to restart your gimp to check for change then try another, very slow work. must go to bed soon it's night time here.

Thanks Rod after reading through a lot of gtrc files I finally found one that used all pixmap images and the following is a quote from the gtrc file
Quote:
# This is the style based on pixmap- (pixbuf-) engine. It isn't fast, but I like this engine.
# I tried make possibly simpliest gtkrc-style, with a small number settings for each one
# widget, but a good-looking one and funcionally... ;-) This is experimental gtkrc.
# All widgets (without Gnome-Panel) take the settings from "DEFAULT STYLE" (only one class -
# - GtkWidget) which sets the properties for all the theme. It makes sure, the theme will have
# the same look of buttons, frames and other widgets for all applications using GTK+...?
# I think so... ;-)

it say's it isn't fast but i couln't notice any difference from a standard gtrc file, give or take a 1,000,000,000th of a milisecond.

I would imagine with those small image sizes loading the gtkrc file should be hardly noticeable.

Also i am thinking there is probably a way to substitute color tags for images.
So you can mix and match. I think i will play with this some more. :)

How did you change the background? I am able to change the menu, buttons, colors, and just about everything else, I just cant find the background.

Very cool info Graechan; haven't really played with themes much (Windows user remember; lol). The instructions and themes work perfectly win 64-bit GIMP. Haven't tried to change the menu color yet, but might later. Does only Greenheart theme have the ability for the menu change (none of the other themes have menu.png file)? Well, I'll find out soon enough. :)

If you want I can send you a zip with over 100+ themes and all the additional engines that are needed for them. (Some still trying to find).

lol; not that into themes Z but do appreciate the offer. Did discover that only Greenheart has the menu option. :gaah

Still pretty cool. Not sure why I never pursued (well did try when somebody created a theme changer for Windows GIMP a few years back but wasn't really impressed then) it til now. I likey. :)
