Using a GTK+ 2.0 Style under Xfce?


Hello All, hopefully a simple one. I'm interested in using a Gtk+ 2.0 theme/style from xfce-look.org however when I get the .tar.gz file down, I'm not sure what to do with it.

The specific theme is: http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=19815

I managed to unpack it into the themes folder and use the xfce theme manager so that it picks up the colouring, however, I want to style to change in the style manager.

Xfce styles have an xfwm4 folder in them, but gtk themes have a gtk folder in them and renaming the folder is not enough.

Anyone have any advice here? There's no guide on xfce-look.org and my searches haven't come up with anything specific.

Just unpack it to $HOME/.themes, then use the xfce theme manager to select it.

If the theme does not display correctly, you'll probably need some extra gtk theme engine installed first.

BTW. the package also contains a metacity theme, which is useless under xfce.
