    I just installed this and been looking around for past 2-3days to see if anyone is having this problem or not. But I noticed that the checkboxes and radio buttons on the theme seem wrong or confusing. It doesnt matter which one of the Controls you use associated with your Mac4Lin theme. Of the 3 Mac4Lin Control themes there seems to be a problem in how the checkboxes are displayed.

    Like if you have it on the Mac4Lin_GTK_v0.4, and go to a window where you must select a checkbox, the empty boxes will appear to have a checkbox if you mouse over the empty box. When you then click that empty box (again which shows to be checked on mouse over) it then disappears and just has a blue halo on the entire box, until you move your mouse off the checkbox and then you will notice it has been checked. This is very confusing. Not sure how to fix this.

    I noticed if I chose another Control theme when customizing the theme like the Human theme on Ubuntu Hardy, it works just fine. So it seems to be embedded somewhere on the Controls theme of Mac4Lin theme.

    Any info on this would be helpful.

      Infra_red_dude, you are the man, thanks for the fix. I was racking my brain on this and shouldve looked at the .themes folder.

      This bug has been fixed in the new version. As a workaround for 0.4 do this:

      Rename ~/.themes/Mac4Lin_GTK_v0.4/gtk-2.0/Check-Radio/option2.png to option3.png and vice versa. Also for radio button: rename ~/.themes/Mac4Lin_GTK_v0.4/gtk-2.0/Check-Radio/check2.png to check3.png and vice versa.
