anyone know of how to make firefox use gtk2 for rendering web page widgets, instead of its default ugly ones?

probably recompile it from source so it links to gtk2 and there must be a configure option.

i tried that, the best it can do is make firefox use gtk2, but the web page rendering uses its own set that i cant to use gtk2 ... or did i do it wrong?

ok so you got the same as the packages that get the tag gtk2.

So if that wasn't what you want then you must be talking of the web page rendering part. I think you can rewrite a userContent.css to get you custom .css to pages that don't specify a .css

Finally found the link I looked at a while ago:

http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

it work on windows too.

~/ApplicationData/...

in linux it should probably be in your

.firefox or .mozilla-firefox folder

anyway it should be in your chrome folder.
