 Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 10:09 pm Post subject: Gtk-Qt Engine Not Working |
 |
|
| The Gtk-Qt engine doesn't seem to work. When I change the settings in the KDE Control Center, only running Gtk+2 programs are affected. Once they're restarted, they revert to the default style. Also, the "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" radio button is re-selected if I go into another Control Center area, even after I select "Use Another Style: " set at "Qt". What do I need to do to get it in work properly? |

I have found that the kde thing does not seem to work well
I use gtk-theme-switch
| Code: |
emerge x11-themes/gtk-theme-switch
switch2 <-- for gtk2
switch <-- for gtk1

gtk-qt is still doing nothing for me... In the Control Centre applet, my "use another style:" box suggests a problem: it consists of " " [blank entry] and "Raleigh". There is no "Qt" option there as it appears there should be.
Any idea how I can solve this? |

| To get the GTK apps to look like your QT, select the radio button above, called "Use My KDE Style in GTK applications". |

| It was initially set to that, but had no effect. Also it re-sets to that setting every time I re-open the applet. |

Gtk-engines-qt is a piece of unmaintained crap written by a company that switched its default desktop to Gnome and said goodbye to the KDE desktop recently (SUSE) .
When GTK-Qt engines started to show breakage (next to the side effects it allways has been showing), i decided to stop using it. I only used it for Firefox, which is the only GTK application I use, anyway.
To KDE-ify my Firefox, I do this:
* Remove gtk-engines-qt from system
* Remove it from /etc/portage/package.keywords
* Create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file. Something like this provides nice Plastik colors and MS Windows fonts:
| Code: |
## (Make sure you have the Verdana font installed from package media-fonts/corefonts USE="X")
gtk-font-name = "Verdana 10"
style "default"
{
bg[NORMAL] = { 0.937, 0.937, 0.937 }
bg[SELECTED] = { 0.404, 0.553, 0.698 }
bg[INSENSITIVE] = { 0.937, 0.937, 0.937 }
bg[ACTIVE] = { 0.780, 0.780, 0.780 }
bg[PRELIGHT] = { 0.937, 0.937, 0.937 }
base[NORMAL] = { 1.000, 1.000, 1.000 }
base[SELECTED] = { 0.404, 0.553, 0.698 }
base[INSENSITIVE] = { 0.937, 0.937, 0.937 }
base[ACTIVE] = { 0.404, 0.553, 0.698 }
base[PRELIGHT] = { 0.404, 0.553, 0.698 }
text[NORMAL] = { 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 }
text[SELECTED] = { 1.000, 1.000, 1.000 }
text[INSENSITIVE] = { 0.780, 0.780, 0.780 }
text[ACTIVE] = { 1.000, 1.000, 1.000 }
text[PRELIGHT] = { 1.000, 1.000, 1.000 }
fg[NORMAL] = { 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 }
fg[SELECTED] = { 1.000, 1.000, 1.000 }
fg[INSENSITIVE] = { 0.780, 0.780, 0.780 }
fg[ACTIVE] = { 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 }
fg[PRELIGHT] = { 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 }
}
class "*" style "default"
gtk-alternative-button-order = 1
style "ToolTip"
{
bg[NORMAL] = { 1.000, 1.000, 0.863 }
base[NORMAL] = { 1.000, 1.000, 0.863 }
text[NORMAL] = { 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 }
fg[NORMAL] = { 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 }
}
widget "gtk-tooltips" style "ToolTip"
style "MenuItem"
{
bg[PRELIGHT] = { 0.404, 0.553, 0.698 }
}
class "*MenuItem" style "MenuItem"
|
* Install a nice Firefox theme, to make it more KDE alike:
http://www.tom-cat.com/mozilla/firefox.html
Benefits:
* No more GTK render side effects / artifacts
* No more breakage of GTK-Qt engine (it worked for years, but it's showing breakage)
Drawbacks:
* No more automatic .gtkrc-2.0 creation => Manage your own colour themes and fonts for GTK apps.
* GTK apps need more theming to KDE-ify them than before

Oh...right then.
I hit upon a risky strategy to try: Opened up my .gtkrc-2.0, and edited the appropriate line to
| Code: | | gtk-theme-name="Qt" |
and blow me, it worked!
Cheers anyway  |
