Description of problem: The new default theme "Adwaita" exhibits different looks for GTK2 and GTK3 applications. The GTK2 theme actually ressembles the "Clearlooks" GTK2 theme, and comparing both gtkrc files, it turns out that both files are almost identical: #diff -uN /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc --- /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc 2011-03-08 01:31:19.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc 2011-02-09 09:48:35.000000000 +0100 @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ colorize_scrollbar = TRUE reliefstyle = 1 menubarstyle = 2 - toolbarstyle = 0 + toolbarstyle = 1 animation = FALSE radius = 3.0 style = GUMMY @@ -408,9 +408,9 @@ ########################################################################## # Workaround for the evolution ETable (bug #527532) -widget_class "*.ETable.ECanvas" style "treeview_header" +widget_class "*.<ETable>.<ECanvas>" style "treeview_header" # Workaround for the evolution ETree -widget_class "*.ETree.ECanvas" style "treeview_header" +widget_class "*.<ETree>.<ECanvas>" style "treeview_header" # Special case the nautilus-extra-view-widget # ToDo: A more generic approach for all applications that have a widget like this.

Launch firefox. Actual results: Both applications are using different themes. Expected results: Both applications are using identical themes. Additional info: Even when package gtk-theme-engine-clearlooks-2.91.5-5.fc15 ist installed, bug 675381 prevents GNOME from using a single theme throughout the whole desktop.
No improvement for adwaita-gtk2-theme-2.91.91.1-1.fc15.
This is upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646556
There has been no activity on this bug upstream, but things still look different. Actually, I see that even more components look different, for example, eclipse looks different than xchat, and both look very different than evolution... I feel upstream is not going to fix this, but somebody should, for sanity's sake. Can we reopen this bug?
This bug has been mostly fixed upstream in GNOME 3.6, which will be integrated into Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow" upon release. I am running GNOME Shell 3.6 on an Ubuntu system, using the default Adwaita theme with a GTK3 browser (Epiphany). The steps to verify this are to launch a GTK2 application, such as Firefox or versions of Emacs before Emacs 24. However, I cannot verify this as I am not running Fedora 18. Anyway, thank you for filing this bug report.
