Overall it looks very similar to Clearlooks. Well, the GTK2 Adwaita theme is using the Clearlooks engine, so its not a huge surprise... > What can we do to get a more consistent look in Fedora 15?

To bring Clearlooks to GTK3, take the gtk-theme-engine-clearlooks package as a starting point; the engine should almost work with GTK3 (not sure if it has been kept uptodate in the last round of GTK+ api changes, after we got Adwaita); and the Clearlooks theme needs to be ported to the GTK3 css syntax. To bring Adwaita to GTK2, take the changes in gtk-theme-engine-clearlooks and backport them to the GTK2 Clearlooks engine in gtk2-engines; then update the GTK2 Adwaita theme in gnome-themes-standard to get as close to the GTK3 version as is feasible. I don't see anybody on the GNOME side having time to take this one before GNOME 3, really. What little resources we have will have to go into a11y and dark variants of Adwaita. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
