Re: [gtk-osx-users] Nice "native" theme

I'm answering myself after trying a few of them without success...

I tried the native engine, gtk-quartz-engine, both in the 0.2 version that you get through jhbuild, both in some user modified version that I find in:

https://github.com/rcaelers/gtk-quartz-engine.git

https://github.com/jralls/gtk-quartz-engine.git

There are minor differences but they work generally not very well, they do a particular poor job rendering notebooks and frames. I've also looked at the sources and I've been frightened by the amount of FIXME comments :)

I've also tried the "aqua" theme, this is a pixmap engine theme, but still have problems with frames and tabs, also the buttons do not size properly in every situation....

What theme/engine do you use in your OSX releases?

I do not need to have a theme that mimic a 100% native cocoa app, but something that makes the app somewhat nicer than the default GTK, not totally "alien"  and does not have problems with a lot of widget like the themes I've tried till now...
