Actually, I modified some of the colors so it wasn't so washed out... But regardless, I'm not using it anymore anyway. ;-)

yes. I can reproduce it. I have seen it before. not positive what it is.. so not sure how to fix it yet.

btw that theme is butt ugly.. I would definitely stick with ThinIce if I were you, even if this gets fixed :)

btw, on themes... why not try Smooth, my current (still very alpha) theme engine for gtk1/gtk2..(no it isn't in pascal.. I thought about it. but..)

(I would recommend CVS, but 0.4 is usable)

:D :D :D

Okay, someone's going to ask me to reproduce this and I won't be able to tell you how.

I was toying around with a MAC OSX like theme "AquaLightBlue" for my Gnome. It uses pixmapped backgrounds that have horizontal lines.

After running with it for a while I noticed a few things. First, Lazarus was slow to redraw windows in the IDE. That could be understandable.

Then I found that flipping between windows, or sometimes just doing a build would cause the processor usage to go to 100% for as much as 1 minute before whatever was going on stopped. During that time the mouse pointer even had a hard time moving.

I switched back to the ThinIce theme and this problem entirely went away.

I know the GTK color mapping and such is still under serious development, and there were cautions mentioned on the list a while back about pixmapped themes, but thought someone would like to know what I saw happen.

I can reproduce it on MY machine, but even then it doesn't happen every time I switch windows or build... it's sporadic. But it definately happens with the AquaLightBlue theme that I have, and not with the ThinIce theme. I don't know if other pixmapped themes will do it or not. I'm not a big theme switcher kind of guy.
