How to remove menus' gradient in GTK+ Crux theme?

Need to edit gtk-2.0 file of this theme to remove menus' gradient and let other gradients remain. Please help.

Are you using gnome, xfce, fluxbox?

Post the part of the gtkrc that you are having problems with.

Or if it's a styles rc post the part of that.

Not much info given.

I am using IceWM, Crux theme for GTK+, the config of Crux is:

Code:

gtk_color_scheme = "fg_color:#000;bg_color:#d3d7cf;base_color:#fff;text_color:#000;selected_bg_color:#2C72C7;selected_fg_color:#fff;tooltip_bg_color:#F5F5B5;tooltip_fg_color:#000"





style "default"

{

  fg[NORMAL]        = @fg_color          # was 000000 --> OK

  fg[PRELIGHT]      = @fg_color          # was 000000 --> OK

  fg[SELECTED]      = @selected_fg_color  # was ffffff --> OK

  fg[ACTIVE]        = @fg_color          # was 000000 --> OK

  fg[INSENSITIVE]  = darker (@bg_color)  # was 888a85 --> ??

  bg[SELECTED]      = @selected_bg_color      # was 75507b --> OK

I need to remove menus' gradient and leave all other gradients.

I didn't know if you were trying to change the color gradient of the menu backgrounds, the kind of gradient of the background or what.
I am not famliar with Ice.

Did you see in that file

Code:

# This enables gradiented menu backgrounds

class "GtkMenu" style "menu"



style "entry"

{

  xthickness = 3

  ythickness = 3



  # Slightly lighter so that the selection will be visible properly

  bg[SELECTED] = mix(0.85, @selected_bg_color, @base_color)

Or are you looking for somethng like

Code:

menu.hilite:                                                flat gradient vertical

menu.hilite.color:                                        darkred

menu.hilite.colorTo:                                        maroon

menu.hilite.textColor:                                        white

If so you'll have to find out where ICE keeps it's config files.

Gtk themes take care of the app txt, foregrounds, buttons etc. A WM theme takes care of window headers, titles, menus etc.
Sorry I don't know how Ice does that.

Wrong. GTK+ (or whatever toolkit the app uses) does.

Well not always.

Fluxbox for example has a seperate styles config file apart from ~/.gtk*rc and ~/.themes that defines how menus, headers, menu frames, menu titles look.

Are you talking about the menus like when you right-click the titlebar or the desktop?

Because I'm talking about the menu bar in applications (this is what I thought the OP was talking about).

Oh ok, I understand both of you now then.

gtk+ does that. I thought that he meant his desktop menu's

Yes, I mean GTK themes, IceWM has nothing to do with them.
And I checked the links, tried editing everything I was thinking of but it gives no result.

Here is a dark theme that I made a while back if you can glean anything from it.
Uses a different engine though.

Code:
