Making a theme... but got problem
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am working on a theme but have hit some obstacles. Is there any documentation on where all the images goes? I have tried to find without luck. It is very difficult to see the result when changing an image you don't know..

I would also like to know how to change the background of menus. The black in the attached image.

The plan is to pack it up for the repos.. which would be impossible if i can't finish it.

BG color is defined in these files:
/css/colors.css
/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
/colors.config

Edit all three files and also make sure there's no gtkrc.cache present @ /gtk-2.0 folder. You might need to reboot to refresh the new color values before you see the changes.

Why are there 3 files which define colours? What if I put different values in each of them, which one will be used?

As you know gtkrc is pretty hugh. I have been looking through it a couple of times but when you don't know what to look for it is not easy. So i was hoping someone who knows could tell me more exactly where to look.

In gtkrc there's line:
color["DefaultBackgroundColor"] = xxxxxx

<offtopic>Looks nice :) However I think you should redo the task switcher and close buttons, IMO they don't really fit. Good luck!</offtopic>

Randomly replacing files while hoping for the best is just how there Meamo "hackers" you can find in the several customization threads do. You are doing this as a real theme, right? As described here?

The only recurring factor there seems to be your name is big bold letters.
