That's exactly what I'm talking about. The white horizontal line, which normally gives nice outline [vertical_tabs], but is almost lost [...] the white editor background, combined with the identical unchangeable background for the tabs. Not completely indistinguishable, but much worse than 2.22, and hard on many tabs.
FWIW I get the real Windows GTK theme straight out of the GTK2 bundle ( no modification, no nothing, for some reason I didn't even have to set it), and it has a clear separation of the current tab (and feels more native/less ugly).
Huh... What version of gtk+ is this?
It's 2.24.10 from the official bundle, and it uses the "native" engine. Normally you activate it by setting
gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows"
in etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, as stated in the bundle's readme. But for some reason I didn't even had to do that on Windows 7.
I was unable to set the tabs background to anything different than the default gray using .gtkrc-2.0, but maybe it takes the background color(s) from some element(s) of the Windows theme, or the rendering is different depending on the Windows version.
I can't seem to really change the colors when using the "MS-Windows" theme, but I guess it's kinda expected some things aren't really overridable with a "native" theme that uses the Windows theming API or something.
However, using "Raleigh" (the one you seem to use given the look) it's relatively easy (well, not to guess what to change, but to change it). Here's an example changing the *inactive* tabs (because changing the active's background also changes the border around the tab's content and I didn't like it):
style "notebook" { bg[ACTIVE] = "#888888888888" } style "notebook-label" { fg[ACTIVE] = "#eeeeeeeeeeee" } widget "*.GtkNotebook" style "notebook" widget "*.GtkNotebook.*GtkLabel" style "notebook-label"
(not very well tested, might override too much)
Attached screenshot shows the (ugly) result.
Wouldn't this address your issue? (even better than avoiding using GTK 2.24 altogether) Or do you have another problem with the integrated theme?
The problem is, it doesn't look much different than the Enrico's example, no matter the theme, though I have not tested extensively under 7even.
Hum, to my eyes on my capture it looks quite different… and attached is the same on XP, still using the "MS-Windows" theme.
Well, if XP is the problem, I wonder how it'll look under 10? I plan it as my next Windows version.
XP is not the problem, it works just the same. Of course the "MS-Windows" theme looks different as it tried to feel native and the Windows themes are different, but that's all.
[…]
Or should I get the heavy guns and write a plugin that displays line(s) of styled buttons that behave as tabs? The default tabs can be hidden in the interface preferences.
If you like it, sure, but it sounds a bit heavy for something that should be solvable with a theme :)
