Re: [Bug 734563] Re: [gnome3] Upgrading to Gnome3 PPA breaks Ubuntu theme defaults

 

Maybe the eventual solution could be posted under 'Answers' so there's a
how-to for people who face this problem.

I haven't had the time to experiment with this myself, unfortunately. I'll
probably get to it tomorrow and I'll post any (new) findings here.

Title:
  [gnome3] Upgrading to Gnome3 PPA breaks Ubuntu theme defaults

Status in “gsettings-desktop-schemas” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gsettings-desktop-schemas

  Installing the Gnome 3 Team PPA on Natty and upgrading breaks the
  default theming used by Ubuntu Classic & the new Unity desktop
  environments by setting the icon-theme to gnome and the gtk-theme to
  Adwaita. And because gnome-control-center currently doesn't have an
  applet to change the theme, it is difficult for users to figure out
  how to get things back to normal.

  It looks like Gnome 3 ignores the previous gconf interface settings
  and only reads the dconf ones.

  For Ubuntu, the dconf default org.gnome.interface.icon-theme should be
  ubuntu-mono-dark and org.gnome.interface.gtk-theme should be Ambiance.

  I believe Ubuntu sets the default gconf themes in the ubuntu-artwork
  package so I don't know if this should be fixed there.
