 Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2003 8:52 pm Post subject: How to change GTK settings without having GNOME installed? |
 |
|
I'm a happy KDE user, the only program I use from that other DE is GIMP. My problem with it is that the fonts in the GUI are HUGE, around twice the size I'd think normal... is there a way to change it, apart from
emerging GNOME?
I used GNOME for quite some time in the past, but nowadays I prefer
KDE, Window Maker and fluxbox and I don't want to use it again in the near future.
I think there should be a way to configure GTK apps in some other way... or am I wrong? |

| gtkswitch will do what you want. I think gtk2switch (or is it gtkswitch2?) will work for both gtk2 and gtk1 apps. |

This doesn't seem to help... I see no difference after changing the theme. but at least I figured out the things I should try to put in my gtkrc. Thanks. |

No, it doesn't. You need Version 1.x to change gtk1-Themes |

Oh another thing, for the switch to work correctly , you need to emerge gtk-themes
That will install deps and stuff needed for the switch to work perfectyl
I'm using openbox,
And Chaning fonts and themes in GTK2 apps, works GREAT.
Have fun themeing gtk2 ! |

There is an icon to the left of the Theme Selection drop-down-box. That opens up some other options including custom fonts 
| Code: |
jp@barney documents $ emerge -p /usr/portage/x11-themes/gtk-theme-switch/gtk-theme-switch*.ebuild
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] x11-themes/gtk-theme-switch-1.0.1
[ebuild R ] x11-themes/gtk-theme-switch-2.0.0_rc2
|
The programs are called switch and switch2. It's interesting to see the differences between the toolkits. Gotta love the fontconfig support in GTK2!

I don't see it 
EDIT: You meant to the right, oh ok I got it and it works fine
There seems to be a porblem though, mozilla still has huge fonts.
EDIT 2: I got switch for gtk1 themes and it didn't affect mozilla at all. The problem is, is that the text int he address bar is huge, as is the text in the menus. It also affects the text on a lot of sites (this one) to be larger than normal, even changing the settings in the mozilla font settings doesnt seem to work. What's going on here? This happened since I uninstalled gnome. |

did you ever fix this? I'm having the same problem and most of the other threads on this topic aren't offering much help.

And it's just Mozilla (and FireBird too). Even Epiphany is using the proper font sizes. I haven't found a solution and just went over to using Epiphany for my Gecko based brower. Not a solution but...
