Well, i'm not actually tweaking the code anymore, but if you can program in python and if you can find your way through that messy code you can surely change the terminal emulator that is fired up.

Sorry, i thought that the gconf command was dependent on the window manager...isn't it?? - Jan 10 2009

Sorry for that, but i initially made like it is because i wanted to have access to the commands i usually run in the terminal: top, sudo apt-get ... , etc.

You make a good point, i'll think to this.

hi,thanks very useful! could you make it not dependent on the window manager?? i mean, if someone has compiz this has to be fixed in some ways...let me know what you can do..

cheers - Jan 09 2009

yep.. fixed.. - Jan 09 2009

that's fine... it worked.. cheers.. - Jul 15 2009

Hi i have a problem with firefox menubar text color. I can't see it.. But this theme looks fantastic anyway.. - Jul 14 2009

it seems that when you open a new terminal session the env variables you've set before are gone.. a workaround for this is to set the env variables in my .bashrc file.. or just a line with : source ~/.profile.. i think this was my problem.. - Mar 08 2009

if i explicitly set the two env variables in a terminal and then start rhytmbox it works.. ok for this.. but in my case the only apps that should use rgba are in the .profile file.. even if rhythmbox is not in the list it cannot start.. it seems that the file is ignored.. - Mar 08 2009

test case:
exclude for instance rhythmbox using rgba in .profile file:

export GTK_MODULES=rgba
export GTK_RGBA_APPS=gedit

So the only application which should use rgba would be gedit.

Then open a terminal and type rhythmbox: the application could not start because it crashes.

I don't know where this comes from, it seems that it's ignoring the blacklist..

I suggest making a list of application that break. We could do this and make available for download a sample .profile file.. - Mar 08 2009

hi zniavre,

I've got some problems with some applets which won't start at login.. i want o blacklist them in .profile but i don't know their exact name.. These are the load monitor applet and the fast user switch applet.. can you help me? moreover is there any log file in which i can see the gtk apps that are crashing at login??

Cheers - Mar 08 2009

I'm listing all working applications.. nautilus seems to work, but when rgba is on it cannot draw the desktop.. :( - Mar 07 2009

hi, installing the dev library fixed the compilation error. My ~/.profile looks like this now:

export GTK_MODULES=rgba
export GTK_RGBA_APPS=gedit:gnome-terminal:gcalctool:baobab

It works.

I suggest you to make a list of apps that breaks and editing a ~/.profile file that new linux users can download..

thanks for doing this!!

hi, thanks for doing this work.
I got these error message when trying to compile your .c file.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

HI, i really like it!! well done. IMHO you could improve a little the gui, for example i cannot easily distinguish the right pane from the rest of the application. Moreover you could improve the usability of the toolbar and the menu bar.

These are just suggestions, you program is very good.

I've also found a bug: when cycling through windows with alt+tab, pyjama does not appear in the list. - Jan 16 2009
