Add gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 and gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 to Skype recommends or suggests to get DE consistent look

[Lorenzo Villani]

Adding gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 and gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 to Skype recommends or suggests improves integration with the default Unity desktop on 64-bit systems since it allows Skype (Qt) to pick-up the Ambiance theme instead of Clearlooks.

I'm attaching a screenshot to compare the looks before and after the installation of this package.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I would also consider adding gnome-themes-standard:i386 which improves integration for gnome-shell users using the default Adwaita theme.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

According to Debian packaging policy, it should be recommends or suggests, not depends, as the theme engines don't affect the core functionality of the package.

I also have a bug. My skype could not install due to this error. i386
It said: Wrong architecture (a list of files could not be read.
What must I do?

Annelize, that is unrelated. You are trying to install Skype 32bit on a 64bit machine. Download Skype again and choose the right version for your processor.

'skype' is no longer included in any currently supported release of Ubuntu. I'm closing this as 'Invalid' in order to tidy up the outstanding list of '100 Papercuts' bug reports.
