The GTK2 theme is Human under Ubuntu, but it’s half Ardour skin, half Ubuntu skin. The visual is horrible for me. I’m not a big fan of this grey skin, so is it a bug or is it the normal appareance ? :-F
Ohhhhhhhhhh… I am testing under Gnome and Ardour displays perfectly. Again a problem with Fluxbox I suppose. It’s not the first software which displays incorrectly with Fluxbox.
We are including the plain clearlooks theme in our codebase to make ardour always use that theme engine. Be sure to check out later releases and report back whether this error is fixed.
Hi,
I’m having the same problem with the GTK-Qt engine on Kubuntu 6.10, and I hope that the latest svn version fixes it… Anyway, when I try to compile the code I got from svn (never used it before it exits with the following error:
cd libs/sigc++2 && ./autogen.sh && cd -
Building macros.
./autogen.sh: 10: aclocal: not found
Building makefiles.
./autogen.sh: 13: automake: not found

./autogen.sh: 16: autoconf: not found
/home/tuedel/ardour2
cd libs/sigc++2 && ./configure && cd -
sh: ./configure: not found
scons: *** [libs/sigc++2/sigc++config.h] Error 127
scons: building terminated because of errors.
(I’m not opening a new thread, since I suspect this is a rather trivial problem)
as a ubuntu-edgy user, i have switched away from the “human” and to the “clearlooks” scheme a while ago (actually that was in the breezy-badger days) in order to resolve the visibility issue in ardour. I really liked ubuntu’s much poo-pooed brown window borders, I am not ashamed to say, but it’s not worth it for me to worry too much about, and i much rather have readable (rather than light grey on white) writing in my ardour dialogues.
Ardour2 now compiled without errors.
The new version with the included clearlooks theme looks much better than the old beta for me (I couldn’t see any text in the beta with GTE-Qt), but some captions are still barely readable (grey on grey, e.g. the drop down menus and some of the buttons) or at least hard to read (white on grey).
Hi, I tested under Gnome and here are my results :
1/ I start with Human Theme (Ubuntu Defaut skin).Ardour diplays with his theme.
2/ I change for a another theme. Ardour take his own value, his
clearlook defaut theme and not the new theme. At this stage, all is
normal.
3/ I change again for Human Theme. Big problem : Ardour diplays with
Human Theme and not the Ardour theme (remember my screenshot).
4/ I change for a gtk theme : same situation like stage 2/.
My conclusion : something is wrong with the Human theme.
Are you Ok with this ? And are you sure Ardour2 doesn’t interfere with Human Theme ?
I think to post a bug report on Ubuntu website if you consider it’s totaly a Ubuntu bug.
Ok, I compiled the newest GTK-Qt from svn, but Ardour2 looked exactly like before with it. I finally decided to install and activate the ‘original’ clearlooks engine (Kubuntu doesn’t install it by default)… Anyway, here is the result: http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/4799/ardour4svnclearlooksba1.jpg
