Comment 30 for bug 141227

So I don't know why it is a problem to add one line to the /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file and create a new package.
I mean the Human theme is doing the same thing, Why should it be a problem for the clearlooks theme ?
It would be nice if this could be fixed before Hardy will be release. Because the clearlooks-engine is much faster then the ubuntu-looks-engine.
So clearlooks is my favourite engine.

This is how the beginning of the Human gtkrc-file looks.
/usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
#################################
# Ubuntu Human Colorscheme

gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=24,24"

style "clearlooks-default"
{
#################################

This is the line (gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=24,24") which will be added to the /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file.

I have created a diff. I am not sure if it is the right way but it works for me.

Just copy the attached patch to your user directory for examle "/home/username/"

start a terminal and type sudo -s

and copy the following line to the terminal.

sudo cat gtkrc.patch | patch /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

It should look like this.

root@home:~# sudo cat gtkrc.patch | patch /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
patching file /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
root@home:~#

now you have to reload the theme. You can do this by choosing another theme and switch back to clearlooks.

So let me know if it works for you.

Best wishes
