Does anybody know if it is possible to do that?! To use different gtk2 themes for differente applications?!

Cheers, The Butcher Milosevic. :P

No. Feel free to submit a patch to the GTK developers though. (Actually, for a usable experience, Metacity, gnome-settings-manager, and GTK). This would not be accepted though.

Also, this is not a Slackware related post.

Let's use gedit as an example.

I would:

1. Create a ~/.gktrc-2.0.gedit file that contains whatever gtk2 settings I want

2. Create a shell script called launch-gedit.sh with the following lines:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cp ~/.gktrc-2.0.gedit ~/.gtkrc-2.0
gedit

Launch gedit with the launch-gedit.sh script.

Presto; gedit now starts with its own gtk2 theme!

God, what an ugly hack!
