Favorite GTK theme?

Well, we have a topic about your favorite theme engine: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40349, but I having seen one that's about your favorite (GTK) theme, so here it is.
My favorite one so far is Murrine Tumsoo: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=55177
It is, in my very humble and very biased opinion, one of the best dark theme around. The font color is easy to read and the whole theme color scheme is very easy on the eye. The only downside to the theme is that the font color for desktop icon is in light gray, so you can't see icon and folder name on desktop if you use bright wallpaper.
But enough about me, what's your favorite theme?

dyscoria: Hey, no problem.
In fact, I've finally getting bored of my dark theme and switch over to MurrinaNeoGraphite that comes with murrine package.
Just like both of you said, switching from dark theme back to normal, light theme certainly lift my mood somewhat (even though the brightness is hurting my poor eyes).
Still, I listed Murrine Tumsoo as my favorite because it is the only dark theme that I could use (having try quite a number of dark themes and finally settle for this one). Ended up using it for almost 6 months.

How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

Hi,
I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
For reference,
- here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
- here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
Many thanks!

HI,
Debug the program after you press the CANCEL button , you will get where the conrol is flowing , And instead of using
Leave to screen '910' use Leave to screen 0.

Gtk Theme - Lack of Sepators makes it unuseable

hi!
i installed this really nice gtk-theme 'Elegant Brit' (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show. … tent=74553) yesterday. it looks great, but has a big problem (in my eyes): there are no separators in the menu and in some applications. and this makes it unuseable for me. does anybody know how to fix this?

Need some help with editing my GTK theme...

I'm editing the colors in my GTK theme...I'm using a theme that uses images for a bunch of the elements (Dyne for GTK 3...Only editing the GTK 2 part of it for now). I'm almost done, but I can't figure out how to get rid of this line in the below image...I've tried everything I can think of.
Any ideas?

Unia wrote:Can you send me the theme? I'm certainly no master themer, but I'm willing to give it go for you.
Okay...Thanks. I uploaded it here...It's a zip file because there seems to be a problem with making tars for me right now for some reason.

Use a gtk theme for one app and another for the whole system??

I would like to know if is it possible to use a theme for one application and use another for the remaining of the system? I use OpenBox and I change themes with Lxappearance...
Thanks,

Uhh, thanks mauryck for the question and anonymous_user for the answer! I use a very slow gtk theme, and one program suffer from it, but this theme is so beautiful so I dont like to change. Never though about this solution, use a different theme only for this program!
Sometimes the solution is so simple...

[SOLVED] Having trouble making QT apps use GTK theme

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble making QT apps use my GTK theme in openbox.
Some apps seem to work just fine but others don't.
^Such as above, as you can see VLC is working, as is qtconfig, but k9copy and k3b are not.
I've did the suggestions that are listed in the wiki. (http://tinyurl.com/ybhb7yr)
And even rebooted after I did them, still no go.
My .gtkrc-2.0 file simply contains:
gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks_blackblue"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
Does anyone have any ideas why it's not working with k9copy and k3b/how to fix it?
Thanks.

Yes, but don't they use QT?
And if not, what do they use? lol. And is there anyway to make them use my GTK theme?

[Solved] Some GTK themes seem to only partially theme (black boxes)

An example is Aurora, but I'd say 50% of what I have is giving me the same problem.
There are no error messages, but the gnome-menu and panels have black rectangles where you'd expect different shades of color/gradients.
Has aurora meant to have a black gnome-menu, or is something broken? Why do some themes work and others don't? Why are there no error messages?
As far as I know I've installed all of the gtk themes. Are there any configuration options I can play with?
Edit:
lol, I fixed it seconds after posting this!
I was missing: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … es-extras/
(everything else had been downloaded)

Some applications simply don't use the "usual" graphical toolkits, but their own. Chromium, LibreOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird are classical examples of this. While Firefox's and LibreOffice's integration with GTK is nowadays more than decent, you'll have to install [or create yourself] a specific theme for Chromium. I can't tell about Thunderbird as I don't use it.
In Chromium, if you choose "Preferences → personal preferences → use GTK theme", you might get a good result either way, so try it if you still haven't.

[SOLVED] Distorted fonts in oxygen-gtk theme

I have install oxygen-gtk2 theme along with gtk-kde4.
When my desktop effects are ON I am seeing distorted fonts in drop down menu's of gtk applications.
They become normal when I move mouse on them. Also they appear normal when desktop effects are OFF.
No other theme have any issue.
Can anyone help me in solving this ?
Versons:
oxygen-gtk2 : 1.2.5-1
gtk-kde4 : 0.9.5b-2

I have "Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD".
I don't have flash video player running. This issue is consistent even without running anything else.
And It is not visible in kde application or with other gtk themes.
It comes only with oxygen-gtk, with kde desktop effects activated, only in gtk applications, only for text in pop-up menus.
Even other texts in those application are normal.
Is anybody else facing same issue in this combination ?

Running GNOME apps in Xfce; not detecting GTK+ theme

I primarily use Xfce4 as my desktop environment, but with some GNOME apps such as file-roller and gedit. It appears that GNOME apps no longer detect the current GTK+ theme while using Xfce. They just use the horrible, blocky default theme. This seems to have started after an update about a month ago, and reinstalling the system didn't fix it. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help is appreciated.

Kinux wrote:
I had the same problem. Searching the forums, the solution for me was to :
pacman -S gnome-themes-standard
And then a symbolic link to gtk3 theme :
ln -s /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0 ~/.config/
This way the new gedit or fileroller use the Adwaita theme while normal Xfce programs use the one I set in Appearance settings.
Hope this helps you too.
Hi，my friend, You are right! Thank you very much!!!

GTK theme, FF buttons problem

Hello,
I recently moved to Macchiato gtk theme, which is very nice. Sadly it has a problem with Firefox/Thunderbird buttons that I'm unable to fix. Explained by images:
no mouse over button:
(if you look closer, you'll see that text is barely visible, but bg/fg colors are almost same)
mouse over button:
I tried playing with gtkrc, no luck. I'm using gtk-engine-murrine svn as of Feb 26.
Help please.

Hello,
I recently moved to Macchiato gtk theme, which is very nice. Sadly it has a problem with Firefox/Thunderbird buttons that I'm unable to fix. Explained by images:
no mouse over button:
(if you look closer, you'll see that text is barely visible, but bg/fg colors are almost same)
mouse over button:
I tried playing with gtkrc, no luck. I'm using gtk-engine-murrine svn as of Feb 26.
Help please.
gtkrc for convenience

What's the correct way to make QT4/KDE4 apps use my GTK theme?

I tried going to Computer -> System Settings -> Appearance and setting the widget style to GTK+ (instead of the default oxygen) but my computer crashes. If I load xterm from kdm and try to run kwin for example, I get the following error message.
"QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine."
and then it segfaults.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uni … d_GTK_apps
This page says to use QGtkStyle, which comes bundled with QT 4.5. I assume that is what I do with the previous procedure, but obviously that is giving me problems. Any ideas?
Fyi, this just started happening tonight when I rebooted my computer. I've had it set to GTK+ for a while and my KDE apps rendered with my GTK theme, but when I rebooted it segfaulted loading the desktop and I haven't been able to get it to work since. Any ideas?

Maybe you should try typing "qtconfig" in the terminal. You can choose GTK+ then. Works for me. I didn't install anything special except the QT applications I use (including QTcreator), so I think "qtconfig" should be available when you have QT installed.
Also look out for a ".kde" directory (?) in your home folder (even when you don't use KDE it might be that you have it). It could be that you've got some contradictory settings in some configuration files that are read when QT apps are started. I'm not sure on this one, though.

NPE on JInternalFrame. init on GTK LNF with some GTK themes

Hi!
I has updated my Ubuntu system (from 9 to 10) and new GTK themes were added to it. Now if some themes are used the application throws NPE on creating JInernalFrame. Currently I noticed it happens with 'Ambiance' theme, but it works with 'Clearity' theme.
Also once I saw such error message in log:
Exception in Metacity for theme "Clearlooks": Variable "Bmin`max`height" not defined
It happens on OpenJDK 1.6.0_18 and HotSpot 1.6.0_20 also.
I suppose the problem may be like this:
[http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6425949]
The only way which I see is not to use GTK LnF at all.

That one indeed was the 1 pixel border bug.
I have now solved this, atleast partially I believe. I am now using ArchSimple theme, which I modified to have 2px borders and better colors for my taste.
Compositions are still not working, and I do not know why. I have multiple monitors and I am using twinview instead of Xinerama and it should work with it - atleast that is what wiki says if I have not missed anything. The networkmanager menu is still a bit weird looking, but atleast it is not that ugly anymore. Below is a screenshot from current state:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27198869/images … 1%3A54.png
I will mark this as solved now, even though there are still some minor issues which I think do not belong to this thread, but I will list them below anyway if someone knows something about them. I have not found answers for these:
- GTK checkbox enabled state is way too light. It is hard to see if it is enabled or not. I can not find any docs about it.
- GTK combobox, when I click it open, list background is black and text is black. Only the hovered text is visible. No docs about this either.
- Compositions still not working. But that is not really the most important feature I need. I can live without it.
- My menus are themed as white on black, but some menus are still black on grey (or white). But I can live with it.

Possible to have certain apps use certain GTK theme??

Hey guys I'm wondering if I can have certain apps use either a specific GTK theme (different from system-wide one in use) or none at all, much like OpenOffice does for me right now (I use a dark theme but it retains a light grey, I'm assuming default theme with Gnome).
Any help appreciated, TIA

I wrote a little script which does "export GTK2_RC_FILES=/path/to/openoffice.gtkrc" before opening OpenOffice. I use a GTK theme that make apps like Eclipse and OpenOffice look horrible. So I use a different gtkrc for them.
I'm pretty sure exporting GTK2_RC_FILES will work with any GTK2 app.

[SOLVED] KDE's Plasma doesn't take GTK theme

I use the latest stable KDE 4.3.4 on my desktop machine and am trying to achieve a uniform look between my QT and GTK apps. QTcurve is nice and renders 90% correct, but still not all the apps take it like I would want them to. For example: tabs in GIMP and Firefox don't have hover effects etc.
Anyway, on gnome I always like Shiki-Brave GTK theme (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=86717) + window border and also QT apps look stunning with the theme imho. So I set this as my GTK theme and chose GTK+ as my QT theme. All QT apps take it as it should, but when right-clicking apps in the task manager or icons in the panels, I see that the menus don't take the GTK colors and widgets. Also when clicking the plasma icon in the right corner and choosing Desktop Settings give me a window with other GTK-like widgets but they don't fit in with my Shiki theme at all.
For a test I also tried other GTK themes, even based on other GTK engines like Murrine, but they all give the same problem. Rebooting doesn't help either.
Hopefully the problem is clear, if not I can provide screenshots (tonight, I'm at work now ). Please feel free to test it on your own machine, it doesn't break anything. Maybe it is solved in KDE 4.4 (beta) or with QT 4.6 but I'm not sure about that...

who said plasma uses your qt theme? because it does not and never will. you have to create your own plasma theme to match your qt/gtk one.
