Try adding this line to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

include "/usr/share/themes/yourtheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

or substitute the path to where ever your theme is located.

Thanks Kovacs
But still nothink.

Code:

 cat .gtkrc-2.0 
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/MardiGras/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT

I see result on program exepction gentoo. I think i must change somethink in .gentoogtkrc, but i dont know what.

thanks again Kovacs, but i wait for another answer

at last!

if somebody want know what must do:

1) first i download gtk theme http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/23ozglassgtk/

2) extract to /usr/share/themes

3) i must download and install gtk-engines (http://sunsite.ulatina.ac.cr/Unix/Li...es-0.12.tar.gz)

4) edit default style: vim /usr/share/themes/Defaults/gtk/gtkrc
On top write:

Code:

pixmap_path "/usr/share/themes/23_oz-Glass/gtk"
module_path "/usr/local/lib/gtk/themes/engines"

5) cp /usr/share/themes/Defaults/gtk/gtkrc ~/.gtkrc
