XFCE: Firefox, OpenOffice.org (GTK apps?) look awful
Hi all,
I recently switched from KDE4 to XFCE. So far, very happy. But for some reason Firefox and OpenOffice.org look awful (chunky and blocky). I know on KDE4 I had to change the GTK theme to make them look any good, however I cannot find how to do this on XFCE (and Google has been no help). Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Ok, I've managed to fix OpenOffice by installing the openoffice.org-gtk package. But Iceweasel is still looks awful. Is there a way which I can make it look more XFCE-like?

You can use tools like gtk-chtheme and gtk-theme-switch to switch your GTK-themes in any DE/WM. Works just fine here.

If running a Debian distro, suggest trying smxi.

In XFCE:
Menu --> Settings --> Appearance Try choosing a different theme. If it does not work, change back to you current theme and post a screenshot so we can better understand your situation. |

Surprisingly you have to start it with
Code:
gtk-theme-switch2 |

See the screenshot. this is the same theme that I have set in XFCE's preferences. I've tried many others in the drop down list as well, but still no dice. Would it be worth purging Iceweasel?

Have you actually installed any themes?.
Have a look in /usr/share/themes. Also, have a look at lxappearance: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/lxappearance |
