Hi @outwork --

You'll need to install the GTK+ development packages (gtk+-dev), download & install each of the engines, then the Elementary theme on top. Murrine is in the repos (at a 2009 version) but Equinox isn't; perhaps download an older version of the theme to match the version of Murrine? One may find the version of GTK+ isn't new enough for the latest theme, either.

For a bit of overview information on software compilation, I liked this page:
=> http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html

There are instructions on each website and in each archive; use the "--prefix=/usr" option during configure. Note that manual compilation like this will not create a package but install it directly on your system, so the directory from which you configure and install it needs to be kept in case you want to un-install it.

HIH.

thank you for your help:)

these was my first time when i wanted to compile, so it is possible that i made something wrong, because i get the following error:
root@paradise:/home/outwork/Desktop/murrine-0.90.3# ./configure --prefix=/usr --
enable-animation

any idea?:)

Oh... and 'slitaz-toolchain' as well :-)
That provides things like gcc, make etc.

the gcc and make commands now working, but there are other problems:(

finally i installed these two packages but i get the following error message:

(lxappearance:3504): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so) initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (micro mismatch)

(lxappearance:3504): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libequinox.so) initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (micro mismatch)

any suggestion?

Whoo, it builds!

As for this obstacle, you will need to upgrade GTK+; I'm running v2.16 from the Stable repos. Try a:
tazpkg get-install gtk+ --forced
tazpkg get-install gtk+-dev --forced
or
tazpkg recharge
tazpkg upgrade
to upgrade it.

I've just seen there is Murrine in the repos, a 2009 build. I installed it and the Elementary theme but it didn't work; I assume one needs a newer Murrine engine to support some bits and pieces that E themes. The Cooking version is the same one and any newer versions of Murrine need GTK+ v2.18 (as I've just found out) :-(

Methinks the next builds of SliTaz could use a GTK+ update...

thank you, finally its working the gtk theme, but i have another problem:P i wanted to install the icon theme too but i get the following error:
