+====== Gtk2 (gmusicbrowser v1.1.x and older) ======
 A few notes to explain how to theme gmusicbrowser using customs gtk themes. \\
 Feel free to improve this page.
-First you need to have some knowledge about how gtk themes works, [[http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.14/gtk-Resource-Files.html|this page have all the technical details]], but there is also some [[http://www.google.com/search?q=gtk+theme+tutorial|tutorials]].

 To help finding the path of widgets you want to theme, I've added some functions to my Debug.pm plugin, you can find it [[/gmusicbrowser/debug.pm|there]] (put it in ''~/.config/gmusicbrowser/plugins/'').
-And, as explained below, I've added a few things to make themes more practical with gmusicbrowser (set widget names and the WB container), all the modifications are in gmusicbrowser_player.pm, you can find the modified file [[http://squentin.free.fr/gmusicbrowser/tmp/gmusicbrowser_player.pm|here]] for version 1.0.1, it will be included in the next version, maybe with some modifications.
+Note that some things will not work with version older than 1.0.2 (widget names and the WB container).

 The style "test" is applied to all gtk widgets named WBTotal and their children, only in a the "Browser" Layout. And the background of the button is black in NORMAL state.
+====== Gtk3 (current beta and future gmusicbrowser versions) ======
+Gtk3 uses a completely different theme system.
+To launch gmusicbrowser with a custom gtk3 theme, for example named gmbtheme, you can type this :
+<code>GTK_THEME=gmbtheme gmusicbrowser</code>
+To create the custom theme, create ~/.themes/gmbtheme/gtk-3.0/ and put a gtk.css file in that folder that could contain for example:
+<code>
+@import url("/usr/share/themes/TraditionalOk/gtk-3.0/gtk.css");
+@define-color theme_bg_color #000000;
+@define-color theme_fg_color #ffffff;
+ * {
+  color: #ff00ea;
+  font: 30px "Comic Sans";
+}
+</code>
+Obviously that is just a silly example to get started, you can use that to change many many things, more info [[https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/css-overview.html|there]].
+That method even allows you to theme specific widgets of gmusicbrowser, to get access to the widget names and hierarchy, you can use [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK/Inspector|GtkInspector]]
