[edgy] Gray theme not displayed correctly

[Arion]

Binary package hint: gray-theme

[Edgy Knot 1]

Only human and clearlooks themes display correctly. Whenever I try to use the gray or industrialTango gtk theme I get :

/usr/share/themes/Gray/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:35: error: invalid identifier `xthickness', expected valid identifier
/usr/share/themes/IndustrialTango/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:29: error: invalid identifier `xthickness', expected valid identifier

I can confirm this. For some reason we are missing the engine for Gray's gtk+ theme.

Maybe Andrea Cimitan can assist with this as he wrote the theme and if I remember correctly the engine too.

Mike reported on bug #74256 a possible dependency problem:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gray-theme/+bug/74256

"I think this has to do with the package gtk2-engines-pixbuf || gtk-engines-pixmap not being a dependency of Gray."

[Luis Mondesi (lemsx1)]

gtk-engines-pixmap needs to be set as a dependency for this theme.

I just hit this same bug.

[Luis Mondesi (lemsx1)]

actually, gtk2-engines-pixbuf since this runs on Gnome 2.18.x

Today I just hit this very same bug.
I was installing the Frozen Plastic theme, and it was completely broken.
By trying other themes, I also realized that the Gray theme that ships by default was also broken.

As already reported, the cause is the dependency on gtk2-engines-pixbuf, that is *not* shipped by default.
The SOLUTION is very simple, just mark the above package as a dependency of gray-theme.

By the way, it also fixed Frozen Plastic and probably many other pixbuf themes around.
The Ubuntu Artwork Team has always been a very busy group.
Is there any way I can fix this in the repos?

Is this still a problem in the latest stable of Edgy or Feisty? or the development release of Gutsy?

[Wagner Volanin (volanin)]

No, it's not a problem in Gutsy.
Gutsy does not come with Gray installed by default anymore.
And gtk2-engines-pixbuf is installed by default.

But it MIGHT still be a problem in Edgy. (I have no way to check)
And Edgy is still supported.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

Arion (or any edgy users), can you reproduce this bug in Edgy Final?

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

We are closing this report because it is fixed in Gutsy and Edgy support as reached end-of-life. If this is still an issue in Feisty please feel free to reopen.

Thanks for helping to make Ubuntu better.
