Aurora GTK engine

[Zyxon]

Hello, I'm new to salix, and I'm trying to customize my new operating system. I use the XFCE version. I installed the elementary theme from the author's deviantart page (http://danrabbit.deviantart.com/art/ele ... e-83104033). The theme requires murrine and aurora engines. I found the murrine engine in the repo, and I installed is using gslapt, but the Aurora engine wasn't included in the repo, so I've downloaded it from GNOME look. I compiled it using the prefix /usr (as it was recommended). My problem is that after these steps done, the elementary theme still looks win95-ish. Now I'm pretty sure, that I did something wrong during compiling the Aurora engine (used a wrong prefix maybe).

So how do I fix this? Thanks for any help in advance.

UPDATE: Also tried to install it via the Slackbuild. Still no joy with that elementary theme.
UPDATE2: Other Aurora-based themes work fine.

Where is the real development page of this engine? You probably need a newer version.

As far as I know its on GNOME-look. And I guess Slackbuilds have the latest version. While I was using other distros I just simply grabbed the ppa or RPM

GTK engines cannot be installed in /usr/local so you have to specify the prefix, and make install is done as root.

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Aurora, Equinox and the latest Murrine all install nicely. You could try starting mousepad from the terminal and see if you get any warnings about missing themes..
