OK, I did what you suggested, and to no avail, the theme is not
applied in firefox. Here is the error that firefox gives now:
(firefox-bin:73371): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "clearlooks",
My gtkrc-2.0 file looks like this now:
--------------------BEGIN ~/.gtkrc-2.0----------------------------
include "/usr/local/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "panel"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#0f0f0f"
bg[ACTIVE] = "#C0C0C0"
}
widget "<strong>PanelWidget</strong>" style "panel"
widget "<strong>PanelApplet</strong>" style "panel"
class "<strong>Panel</strong>" style "panel"
widget_class "<strong>Mail</strong>" style "panel"
class "<strong>notif</strong>" style "panel"
class "<strong>Notif</strong>" style "panel"
class "<strong>Tray</strong>" style "panel"
class "<strong>tray</strong>" style "panel"
--------------------END ~/.gtkrc-2.0----------------------------
By the way, my firefox is launching from /usr/local/bin.
