I'm slowly, and painfully, working my way towards an IRIX-looking gtkrc for gtk1... I still have the borders, checkboxes and scrollbar to figure out...
I was wondering if anybody had done it already and would share it here...

BTW, yes, I am aware pf gtkbuffy, but the colors seemed off, at least on VPro... But I'm still looking into it...

You bet - grab the BuffyGTK (GTK1 Motif look-alike theme) tardist here:

http://www.nekochan.net/downloads/nekon ... fy.tardist

More here:

http://www.nekochan.net/weblog/archives/000010.html

It should probably be repackaged as Nekoware (that tardist is OLD) but it works

Whoops, didn't see that you were aware of Buffy already - sorry about that - I'm in too much of a hurry this morning. Oh well, gave me a chance to correct the download link on that article

Heh. I've got Ubuntu 8.10 running on an old laptop, and I think it would be a complete gas to have it look like IRIX. If there's a complete "how-to" on the subject, I'd love a pointer. I've always just taken the OS's desktop, and window manager, as it was, rather than screw with it and risk hosing something....

Of course, what I'd really like is a real-for-sure SGI/MIPS/IRIX laptop, or at least one that works like that.

A thought on colors. IRIX usually ran with a gamma correction of 1.6 IIRC. Perhaps the Buffy Colors are set for no gamma correction (1.0).

Now that's rather nice! Great find. I think I'm going to use that on my Linux server. (Though it's headless, I still run X on it, for via VNC ; some things are just a bit more pleasant to administer via a GUI, like moving files and directories around).

...which is ironic, since my theme (which seems to be mother of all IMD based themes, since I was the first to figure out to scale scrollbars), has been available all the time from the usual place...

That is just awesome. I use it on Irix and as the GTK theme for my Maxx Desktop install.

default gamma is 1.7 but that aside irix comes with a custom gtkrc already.
