Description Bruno Wolff III 2011-04-27 14:45:44 UTC
Description of problem:
gnome-tweak-tool seems to be applying some filter on the list of available themes. This made it so that I couldn't choose to use the 'echo' theme using the tool and had to find the correct schema and key to set it with gsettings.
If the filter is set to only show those themes that work with gnome-shell, perhaps it could indicate suitability for fallback mode or gnome shell when displaying the list of themes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-tweak-tool-3.0.0-1.fc15

Comment 1 Michel Alexandre Salim 2011-05-04 09:55:09 UTC
Themes are currently only displayed if they have both gtk-2 and gtk-3 variants. I'll see if there's a way to programmatically detect if we're in fallback mode and adjust the behavior that way.

Comment 2 Michel Alexandre Salim 2011-05-04 10:11:34 UTC
On second thought, this could open a can of worms:

This would require testing if
- gnome-shell is running *and* fallback mode is not enabled for the next session
  (in which case display only themes with gtk+-3 support)
- metacity is running *and* fallback mode is enabled
  (in which case display themes as long as gtk+-2 support is available)
- the grey area where neither is the case

Plus I'm not sure what would happen if a user, in fallback, selects a theme that
does not support GTK+-3, and then switches back to GNOME Shell.

Punting to upstream to see what he thinks.

Comment 3 Bruno Wolff III 2011-09-28 16:15:21 UTC
There seems to be a more complete list showing in F16 / rawhide now.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:59:20 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
