It basically strips all the stuff from clearlooks that I don't like. The lack of rounded corners is probably the most obvious change, but there are various other smaller changes too. It should also be faster than clearlooks from cvs because in order to make my changes I stripped down the code somewhat.
This engine can happily be installed alongside clearlooks, or any other engine as far as I know.
The themes are basically the same as clearlooks themes, just change the engine from clearlooks to rezlooks in the gtkrc file of the theme you want to convert. I've also included a couple of themes ready for this engine for you to download if you like. These are Rezlooks-Gilouche, based on the Suse Gilouche gtk theme, and Rezlooks-graphite, based on Clearlooks-graphite which was made by lokheed.
Thanks to the clearlooks authors, especially Remenic - sorry for ruining your beautiful theme engine again
Thanks also to David Barr for help and testing.
Thanks to Michael Magua for packaging up a Fedora Core 5 RPM.
Thanks to "Mandrake" for the Ubuntu deb.
Finally, thanks to whoever wrote the Gilouche theme for the Suse folks, and to lokheed for his Clearlooks-graphite theme which I pretty much stole.
**NOTE: If you've installed it fine but when you try to use one of the themes you get the old default gtk engine, try installing again after running "./configure --prefix=/usr"
**NOTE: There seems to be some (understandable) confusion between the Rezlooks gtk engine and the rezlooks set of themes that I uploaded to gnome-look (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=35077) back in february. To clarify, those themes were basically the precursor to this theme engine, they came with a small patch to the clearlooks source which got rid of the rounded corners. This theme engine is the logical continuation of that, in that it continues the process of making clearlooks more in tune with my tastes. I won't be updating those themes to use this engine, I'll leave them in case someone wants to use the colours without installing this theme engine.

PS That's NOT metacity, that's OPENBOX in the screenshots. Stop asking about the metacity theme please!
PPS RPM re-added, thanks again Michael.

Hey, thanks for this beautiful theme engine! Is anyone else (e.g. the author?) still using it? I've been happily using it since 2008 (also in qt5 and qt6) and for preservational purposes, I've mirrored the source code on github (https://github.com/t-wissmann/rezlooks-gtk-engine/), with a few minor patches applied to make it still compile. If the original author wants control of the project again, please let me know!
Download link seems to be working again!
Broken download links.
I also look for your valid Link to this gtk-engine, because this Link here does not work. Please fix the upload-Link. Greetings Karmicbastler
Hi, I really Rezlooks, I was looking for Rezlooks-graphite theme but it seems that the links do not work or lead to a wrong site. Could you correct this ? Can you provide a valid link to the theme ? Thanks ;-)
Here is the Debian / Ubuntu Source uploaded on Rapidshare .COM! http://rapidshare.com/files/15311808/rezlooks-0.6_0.6-1_i386.deb
Does somebody know how to get the menubar with the green stripes, like in this screenshot ? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=2&id=39179&file1=39179-1.jpg&file2=39179-2.png&file3=39179-3.jpg&name=Rezlooks+GTK+Engine Thanks !
please add a new .deb ? :) the link above is broken now too
found debs here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=175777&page=4
I like that music player that you are using in the screenshots, where can i find it?
That's GMPC, a frontend for MPD. http://musicpd.org/

This looks really great but the ubuntu download link doesn't work (anymore) :(
is the ubuntu deb available here have animations enabled? cause i don't see animations on the progress bars while loading and i've tried on a alot of different applications like synaptic when it's installing it uses the progess bar.
As far as I know, it has animations enabled. Bear in mind that the theme you use has to use animations too - ie it must have "animation = TRUE" in the gtkrc.
the theme i'm using Rezlooks-Graphite does have animations = true in the gtkrc file, i checked to make sure and yes it does... and still no animations that's why i have reason to believe the ubuntu deb was not built with animations enabled
Nice clean fast theme! Thanks rezza
I really like the addition of that striped gradient style. Is it possible to add more customization to that in future versions? Such as which way stripes go, colour of stripes, or perhaps a flat-striped style? Fantastic work rezza, I really love it. PS: I saw one of your desktops a couple months ago and have been using OpenBox ever since.
Yes, more customization of the stripes is planned in the future.
Any chance of the source deb for us poor non-i386 people? Screenshots look nice :)
Umm, sorry, not gonna happen. If you want a source deb, I think there are tools available in debian to make one from a source tarball.
Hello, How configure the engine rezlooks ? Merci
read one of the themes, they're pretty self-explanatory.
How can I make my metacity black when using the gilouche theme as in your screenshot
