Hi !
I'm trying to make my Fluxbox manager look a bit nicer than the default (?) grey GTK and/or (?) QT themes.
So I downloaded a GTK theme and installed gtk-chtheme. The program does not give me any errors.
However, the only application affected by the theme-change is firefox. I have compiled from source krusader, amaroK, Ktouch, Kile and Kate on my box, and
none of them are affected by the theme-change done by this program.
Then I started editing my ~/.gtkrc file manually. I have found the following things:
- the only file actually being read is ~/.gtkrc-2.0, and not ~/.gtkrc
- when I specify to load a gtk theme, and not a gtk-2.0 theme in this file, nothing happens
- as before, when some GTK2 theme is loaded, only firefox changes.
My ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now looks like this, and it succesfully loads the Phacile-green theme.... only for firefox ;]
Code:
include "/usr/share/themes/Phacile-green/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
So, this would suggest that I don't have GTK1 installed ... ? But I do have it.. In fact, the following are installed on my box:
gtk+-1.2.10-i486-4.tgz
gtk+2-2.10.13-i486-1.tgz
gtk-engines-2.2.0.tar.bz2
gtk1-engines-0.12-i486-2x.tgz
gtk-qt-engine-0.7-i486-2gtx.tgz
qt-3.3.8-i486-5_slack12.0.tgz
qt-x11-free=3.3.8.tar.bz2
Okay, now the QT part... I have actually no idea which program uses GTK and which uses QT, I suppose all the KDE apps should use GTK, but Kile, amaroK and Ktouch are not affected at all when I load a GTK2 theme in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.
When I set some settings in qtconfig,
none of them apply to any program (amaroK, Kile, etc etc). When I choose to load QtCurves as my GTK theme (which takes the QT settings for GTK programs), firefox indeed uses the settings which I set with qtconfig, but again, no other program does...
Then I installed gtk-qt-engine, but this didn't change anything..
Any ideas ? ;] is it even possible to change the appearance of say, amaroK, on Fluxbox running on Slackware?
