Description:
Nodoka is a GTK+ engine being developed for default inclusion Fedora 8.
The engine comes with a gtk+ theme, and I've linked to the metacity and GNOME metatheme it's supposed to be a part of, as well as an alternative GTK theme I put together. (see the second screenshot)
I've built a package for Ubuntu 7.10 x86 and Fedora 8 x86.
Users installing from a package should be aware that after it's installed any gtk apps running may become ugly. Restarting them seems to fix it.
I've tentatively put together a Gentoo ebuild for all arches, based on one by Nareshov for AMD64. I don't have any installations of Gentoo on hand, so I can't test it.
You can find (now outdated) packages at http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gtk2-engines-nodoka+%5BRPMs%2BDebs%5D?content=64606
for the following distros/architectures:
Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) x86
Mandriva 2006/2007 x86
SuSE 10.2 x86, x86_64
SuSE 10.1 x86
Fedora 7 x86, x86_64
Fedora Core 6, x86, x86_64
Debian Etch 4.0 x86
In addition, if none of the above options will work for you, you can get the source below or at the homepage (linked to above). The homepage contains instructions for checking out from git.
For people who would like to play with their gtkrc's, here are some options that the readme claims Nodoka supports:
* animation = TRUE, FALSE # FALSE = disabled, TRUE = enabled
* bullet_color = six-digit hex value # set custom bullet color (for check and radio buttons)
* contrast = 1.0 # double value, sets the contrast on borders
* gradients = TRUE, FALSE # use gradients
* hilight_ratio = 0.909090909 # currently has no effect, will probably go away in a future release
* listviewheaderstyle = 0, 1, 2 # 0 = flat, 1 = gradient, 2 = raised
* listviewstyle = 0, 1 # 0 = nothing, 1 = dotted
* menubarstyle = 0, 1, 2, 3 # 0 = flat, 1 = normal raised gradient, 2 = normal lowered gradient, 3 = menubar gradient
* toolbarstyle = 0, 1, 2, 3 # 0 = flat, 1 = normal raised gradient, 2 = normal lowered gradient, 3 = menubar gradient
* roundness = 0, 1, 2, 3... # set the roundness of widgets
* scrollbar_color = six-digit hex value # set custom scrollbar color
* scrollbarstyle = 0, 1, 2 # 0 = no handles, 1 = circles, 2 = bars
* stripes = TRUE, FALSE # use stripes in progressbars
* focus_inner = TRUE, FALSE # TRUE = secondary focus ring inside, FALSE = secondary focus ring outside widgets
* focus_fill = TRUE, FALSE # enable or disable focus overlay fill
I'm not connected to the development of this engine. Suggestions should be directed at the developers.
