 Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2006 6:41 pm Post subject: GTK2 theme |
 |
|
Hi
I installed few GTK2 themes and "selected" it using gtk-chtheme.
When I launched Firefox, the theme did not work properly.
I therefore launched Firefox via Konsole to see if there was any error messages (eg: missing engine) but surprisingly..the theme worked properly !
After a few tests :
> GTK2 applications launched via the KDE menu > theme does not work properly (some caracteristics from the theme are present and some others aren't)
> GTK2 applications launched via konsole > theme **does** work
I really do not understand why this problem occur...
Any ideas ? |

run
echo "include \"~/.themes/<themename>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc\"" >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
and try to start firefox again. if you now have your theme in .themes (replace <themename> with the themes foldername in .themes) |

Thanks - but I don't think my .gtkrc-2.0 is the problem as it generated by gtk-chtheme (I used to have gtk-theme-switch before I discovered gtk-chtheme).
My .gtkrc-2.0 file : | Code: | # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/home/tim/.themes/AluminumAlloy-Volcanic/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font" {
font_name = "Arial 11"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Arial 11"
include "/home/tim/.gtkrc.mine"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT |
This theme works properly no matter how I launch any GTK2 application, which is the reason why I chose it (I intend to change once I get the other themes to work properly) |

I found the solution :
> Control Center [kde], Appearance & Themes, Colors
> un-check the box labelled "Apply colors to non-KDE applications"
works for me  |
