Bug Description

Hi,

I'm testing 12.04 right now and the human theme works nicely for Firefox e.g., but not for gedit or nautilus.
Please see attached screenshot for nautilus.
Using the Xubuntu desktop, human-theme-0.39.2

Thanks!

This is because the human theme hasn't been ported to GTK3 so, while xfce is still GTK2 (and works fine with the theme), any applications from GNOME3 (or anything else using GTK3) won't be themed.

If I find the spare time to do this, I might port it myself, as I still use the human theme as well (I suspect we're two of a very small set of users, however).

Well with the new MyUnity tweak tool, it is now possible to change themes in Ubuntu (not talking about xubuntu) on the fly. And it will seem weird to people that many themes just don't work because they can't handle gtk3.
But if you can port human-theme to gtk3, I will be forever grateful. ;-)
I just love this theme as it's near perfect for usability and heavy desktop work.
I guess there are no tutorials about porting a theme from gtk2 to gtk3?
