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.

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!!!

It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything. When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
The ipad's clock has also stopped.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.

You will not receive direct help with this problem by posting here. Everyone here is just a fellow user, so all you'll get here is advice on how to proceed.
You can contact Mac App Store Customer Service and ask for a refund, but there is no guarantee you'll get one. Before you ask for a refund, I'd suggest contacting the developer and asking for assistance:

If they tell you there's no solution, that will give you a better case to present to the App Store for justifying a refund.

Apps not using gtk theme

Strange thing happens:
I have installed some applications (firefox, pidgin, clementine, vlc) when gnome was not even installed (through xterm), and they seem to ignore the gtk theme I'm using.
What should I do?

It's the theme from Linux Mint. I've basically copied the folders to /usr/share/themes and .themes.
Everything works fine except for these apps which were installed before gnome. I'm guessing it's all about some configurations that were made.
EDIT: changed the theme but the issue is still there.

Running Java app when java not installed

I need to run java apps on a server I don't control and the admin will not install java. :(
Tried a few things to run java without installation, but get error that a java registry item can not be found. "Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'" Might be that without control of the registry, there's no way to run the java engine, but curious if there's a way to get it to run... I'm gonna play around with it, but figured if someone out there knows it's not possible, they could save me time by letting me know.
Thanks!

Depends on what you want to run. To run an applet on the computer requires that the JRE be installed, as the applet needs the Java Plug-in and Registry keys that the JRE install includes. To run a Java program from the command line needs a copy of the JRE, but it does not need to be "installed" by the Java installer. Then the command "java ... classname" needs to include the full path to the java executable that the JRE contains.
There might be websites that allow you to run certain kinds of Java programs on the website. I don't know if they still wxist. I also doubt that they'll run applets.

NM-Applet not following GTK theme

Hello,
I've recently switched from WICD to NetworkManager for my network management, and I have noticed that NetworkManager, refuses to follow my GTK theme, I figured I'm missing a dependency for something, considering it is the only app that doesn't follow it, but I can't figure out what it is.... I've done some searching, and I haven't found anything relating to the issue.
I am running AwesomeWM, but I don't believe that to be causing the problem... nm-applet runs beautifully aside of the GTK theme not showing up. Now, it doesn't really bug me that it doesn't show the theme, since it looks fine until you click on it... but I figured there may be a solution.
My GTK theme is a varient of the GNOME Crux theme, which I do have installed properly...
You can see the difference in styles here...
Now, I have noticed when I start NM-Applet via terminal, I get the following GDK errors.
[18:26][burchettm@NOVA-FD][~]$ nm-applet --sm-disable
(nm-applet:6440): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_red_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed
(nm-applet:6440): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_green_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed
(nm-applet:6440): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_blue_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area
Now, I don't know if those GDK errors are the problems with my GTK theme not following the app, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Gah. That sucks. I really like the Crux theme... wonder if I can make or find a port of it... Might look at that when I get back to town... I just symlinked Adwaita's gtk-3.0 into my ~/.config for now.

ITunes won't sync new apps, I'm not authorized for them on this computer??

Hello,
Everything with the update went well, bought/downloaded applications from iTunes, hit sync & got the message that I'm not authorized for them on this computer. I have to be, don't I? I remember when activating the phone that it did that... I think. Please help, I want to use my new apps.
BTW, I've tried resetting the iPhone by holding down the power & home buttons for 6 seconds & I've restarted my G5.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just solved it. Double clicked on one of the new applications from within iTunes, it asked for my password to authorize this computer, clicked sync & it's syncing now.
Hope this helps others that might have had the same problem.

After running the recent update Iphone not detected by itunes

After running the recent iOS update on my iphone4, itunes no longer detects my iphone when I plug into my USB port. I ran the troubleshooter and got no relief. The phone also charges much slower from the USB than it used to but still seems to charge about the same when plugged into a separate power source. The phone also does not indicated it is charging anymore even when plugged into a separate power source.

Duh Norm. Didn't find first time through.
That's why you have 32k points and I have close to zero.
Thanks much.

Windows XP running on iMac, USB Printer not detected on Windows

Hi all,
I'm pretty sure this is not a Mac issue, however I've been trying to understand this problem and I didn't find a proper solution, maybe some of you can help with that.
The situation is:
iMac running Mac OS X 10.4.10 working fine with a Xerox Printer 8550 connected with a USB cable, however, in the same system my colleague has a Windows XP installed with BootCamp, the problem is that Windows Xp cannot detect the USB printer, have you heard anything like that before?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Alatryste

should be only driver problem?

Mail app rules do not detect spam

I have added my Exchange, Yahoo and Gmail accounts to the Mail app and created rules both based on detecting "X-Spam-Level" in the headers, but also by using "ALL" where "Account Yahoo" and "Message is Junk Mail" and action is "Move message to Trash" but none of these two ways seem to work because the Spam is not deleted when it comes in. Any ideas?

Hi studUS,
The best way to have mail filter spam messages is to follow the steps in this article:
Lion Mail: Mark messages as junk or not junk
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4774
If you receive messages that have been highlighted as junk, or messages that are junk but weren’t highlighted, you can mark the messages as not junk or junk. When you mark messages, Mail updates the junk mail database accordingly. Over time, Mail will identify junk mail more accurately.
Cheers!

It sounds like you are not able to see any iOS devices in iTunes on your PC. I recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot that named:

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] XFCE - Java Swing button theme?

I'm running XFCE, and I notice that all Swing-based Java applications use the ugly Swing button theme. When I used GNOME 3, some of them would adapt to the GNOME button theme (and would look like they belonged on the system).
Is this issue with XFCE, my current GTK theme (dorian), or Java, and how can I change this?

Thank you for the information.
I followed the wiki by adding
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel"
to my ~/.bashrc file.
To test, I launched the Minecraft launcher (one of the applications which does support style changes between desktops), and got back this information:
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string: ''
And it had no effect. Any ideas?

[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.
