No. Unfortunately, the gtkrc will not affect the panel properly. For example, if you tried to have gtkrc draw a 'flat box' or a custom drawn element for the panel, it will not apply using the class overrides.
Apparently the gtkrc for the panel exclusively was to handle this, but has gotten lost somewhere along the line. In order to fully control the panel's theming, I can see no other way to accomplish this. The current method of introducing a panel image is extremely kludgy and doesn't elegantly handle all of the possibilities. As far as I can see from the research, Debian has somehow managed to bork the file. I would need to test another variation of Linux away from the Debian tree to be certain. The list reading however, indicates that this might be the case. -- /usr/share/gnome/gnome-panelrc fails to impact theme https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112665 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
