GUI ruined

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The user interface of cardpeek on Mac OS X 10.10.1 with gtk+3: stable 3.14.4 
(via Homebrew) and XQuartz 2.7.7 is ruined.

See screenshots:

The buttons appear only if I hover with the mouse over the buttons. And there 
is no text.

And also some errors appear in the terminal output and in the log:

I installed default-icon-theme-0.1.tar.gz and hicolor-icon-theme-0.14.tar.xz 
from http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases/ like the output says but it 
doesn't work anyway.

I don't know why it says
> '/Users/thefox/.cardpeek/' will not be created
?

Thanks for the report.

I'm aware of this user interface issue which is due to changes that appeared in 
GTK 3.14. It has been fixed in the SVN. The fix will be part of version 0.8.4 
of cardpeek, which should be released soon. 

You may try the attached version of cardpeek which includes the fix and is 
compiled under homebrew on Mac OS X 10.10.1. I'd be happy to get a confirmation 
that it works for you.

The second error is unrelated to the first one and is a bug that happens if you 
answer 'no' when cardpeek asks you to create some files for you (apparently you 
could not see this text). Then if you answer yes to the next question about 
updating cardpeek, the program crashes. This should not happen and needs to be 
corrected.

Thanks for your fast response. How can I compile cardpeek from svn source? In 
the "INSTALL" file there is a way described but there is no "configure" script 
in the source.

The latest version of cardpeek can be grabbed from SVN with the following 
command:

svn checkout http://cardpeek.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ cardpeek

You will need to run "autoreconf -fi" to generate the ./configure script, which 
is not included in the SVN (autoreconf is part of the automake/autoconf 
packages in brew).

Ok, now it's working. GUI look good.

I also created a short helper script how to compile cardpeek from source:
https://gist.github.com/TheFox/efb21bb9ed6ff4f2a725

In the manual pdf you also missed the "autoreconf -fi" command.
