Setting a GTK3 theme without Gnome-Shell?

Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a way to change the system gtk3 theme without having gnome-shell? I read on the wiki about either using gnome-tweak-tool (which depends on gnome-shell to operate) or the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file (which takes effect after gnome-shell is restarted), but I really don't want to install gnome-shell (I'm running xfce).
Simply put, is there any way at all to be able to set the gtk3 theme without having to download gnome-shell and all of it's dependencies?
Thanks!

Maybe you can see something in that that I cannot.

How could i change GTK3 themes in GNOME 3.4

Hello.
Just one (maybe stupid) question. How could i change the colors of the desktop text, without changing the nautilus colors?
I love the Adwaita theme, but i think it's working for me the Elementary theme (from gnome-look.org). I installed it from the AUR, but the desktop colors are a little bit dark to see them clearly and i want to turn them into white....
I've changed some settings in /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/gtk.css but with no success...
Thanks once more for your help.

You need a more up to date version of the theme. Lots of themes that were designed for gtk 3.2 have the text colour set wrongly in gtk 3.4.
Also, try comparing to /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

[solved] Skype GTK3 theme with Gnome and Adwaita theme

Hello,
Is it possible to have Skype using the Adwaita GTK3 theme on a 64Bit system?
I only get the following error:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
(skype:8290): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Regards
Last edited by orschiro (2012-12-02 10:02:16)

I resolved the issue.
1. Install Adwaita-X theme from AUR together with lib32-gtk2. You do not need to install lib32-gtk-engines.
2. Create ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with gtk-theme-name = "Adwaita-X" in it.
3. Add export GTK2_RC_FILES="/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0" to your ~/.xinitrc.
Skype should now use the Adwaita-X gtk2 port on a 64bit system. You do not need to change or set anything in qtconfig.
If you then launch skype you may still receive the following messages:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
(skype:8290): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
The first one just says that you need to install lib32-libcanberra-pulse from multilib repo.
As for the second warning I do not know how to get rid of that since I cannot reproduce why skype still looks for the adwaita theme although Adwaita-X was specified in the gtkrc file.

[SOLVED] Setting Qt icon theme without KDE.

Where can I set the icon theme for QT[5] without using KDE? Is there some manual [deskop agnostic] way. E.g. Trolltech.conf, but ,if yes, what is the key?
The wiki states that "There is no way of setting the icon theme from QtConfig, but since Qt follows the Freedesktop.org Icon Specification, any theme set for X is picked up by Qt."
But how can I set the theme set for X?

Gnome AppMenu without gnome-shell?

Are there any other applications apart from gnome-shell that support gnome's appmenu (the per-application menu that appears in top bar in gnome shell)?
I'm using custom openbox session with various gnome applications. Currently the appmenu shows as menubar with only one item, which looks really stupid in most cases.
So, I'm looking for dock/panel/whatever that could display the appmenu outside gnome-shell. Any suggestions welcome..

Yeah, I've noticed that it wasn't updated long time ago in GIT.
I'm giving myself a break - GNOME panel is so buggy and unstable... whenever I add or remove an applet, it hangs or quit. Now I even cannot launch panel - terminal says nothing, but panel doesn't appear.
It's not worth it.
EDIT: Thanks for your help.

[solved] gtk3 themes for gtk3 apps, without installing gnome3

After executing "pacman -Syu", transmission was upgraded to a newer version, but it no longer has the "Clearlooks" gtk2 interface wich I installed witch pacman and selected it with "lxappearance" because I don't have gnome2 or 3 installed. Now, transmission has an ugly gtk3 interface that looks like windows 95. But how can I install ans select a gtk3 theme, without installing gnome3 ? (because I only want to keep openbox and xmonad installed, and no other WM or DE)
It says on wiki.archlinux that "gnome-tweak-tool" won't work if gnome3 is not installed...
It also tried to install the "librsvg" package, and the Newlooks theme, and I've edited "~/gtk-3.0/settings.ini" to add:
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = false
gtk-theme-name = Zukitwo
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
... and after reboot, Transmission doesn't have the "Newlooks" gtk theme... it still has the old looking theme
Last edited by Chrys349 (2011-11-26 16:36:53)

I am facing the same problem. I've created ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = elementary
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = elementary
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
Someone also wrote that copying gtk-3.0 folder should enable gtk3 theme, but this also failed.
cp -r /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/ ~/.config/gtk-3.0/

Recent update broke GNOME Shell drawing?

Hi.
I'm recently working on a theme for GNOME Shell, and in the "popup-menu-item" class I used a style like this: "box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 #86d1f2;"
It was all good before, but after I update my system yesterday the inset box-shadow property seems to be broken.
With "0 1px [something greater than 0]" it works just fine,
but if I do what I did above, going with "0 1px 0", the shadow (which should've been only 1 pixel high) would cover the whole button.
Not sure if it's just me or it really is a bug.
And I don't know much about all those packages, but I suspect it's gtk or cairo that cause the change.
Please tell me what you think and where and how I can properly report this. Thanks!
FYI,

Is it something Nvidia-related? No, I don't think so. I'm running on ATI.
But I don't think it's a graphical glitch caused by driver or something like that anyway.
Must be the Shell or whatever it is it's using to draw.
A few thoughts:
1. If someone can check this for me, apply a random third-party theme, and add "box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 red;" in the ".popup-menu-item" block, ALT-F2 "rt"
then check if it's a red line or covers the whole item.
2. Assume it's caused by, say, Cairo, can I downgrade to an earlier version easily with pacman or yaourt? That way I might be able to find the problem.
Thanks.

Note that this site currently only works in firefox. Find the extension you want and toggle the switch to on, it then asks if you want to install the extension.
I am not sure what extensions I Have installed. I don't think I installed any out of the default, though I did recently install cinnamon.
how can I tell what needs to be removed?

ps. still learning gnome 3
If you don't run into any trouble when running an update you should be fine. If you do pacman should tell you which packages are causing the issue.

Your desktop is a mess, I don't like the theme so much, but hey, it's YOUR theme now, so don't mind me
as for the "bright" background, I just tried to stick to Atolm-gtk2, as for the colours.
If you are going to release your theme, please credit me and if you can, provide a link to my original Atolm-gtk3 theme.
You are welcome, and keep up the good work!
I have added the link to both this thread and your deviantart page (which i already had a link to in another thread). I wasn't going to claim credit for your work, no worries - as originally posted, i did mention it was based on Atolm-gtk3. I've actually recommended your theme to a few people. - My dad quite likes it
...as for my desktop being a "mess", I'm not exactly positive what you mean by that. ie: most of the contents of my desktop were temporary files in those screenshots.
here is what my desktop looks like with the default gnome 3 background - with nautilus desktop, minus the icons/launchers/scirpts i was working on, and my clock also moved to the top, accordingly (to match the default background, in mine is it inset.) ;
Depending on one's definition of "a mess", i would actually have to say, that in comparison - your desktop is actually quite the clutter'ed (don't mind the pun!) little mess. You will notice, i do not require gnome-panel at all, or even gnome-shell - in my gnome 3 experience.... I have a single dock off to the side (to maximize widescreen real-estate), it also provides a gtk2 style start-menu (much faster than G3 menus) and allows me to access any setting/app not visible on the desktop. I am not required to leave my desktop to do anything, at all. - any and all transitions used to move between apps/desktops - happens without the disturbance or inconvenience of leaving my desktop, in any visually noticable way...including also being able to shut-off compositing, without interruption - which is impossible in Gnome-Shell. So i tend to think my desktop is much more minimal, and actually quite organized, thought out and simplified.... in fact as a tablet user, i don't even require clicking the mouse to change workspaces/applications, I need only move my stylus to whatever edge/corner triggers the desired function. i can also control every detail with a few only a few "clicks". I wouldn't call that a mess - i would say it's quite elegant, fast and smooth. it's like using an iPad or PC tablet. (but it's my desktop).
it's also important to note that I have different design goals with my modification of your theme. My theme overlaps the menubar/toolbar, on top of the window decoration by about 3 pixels (at the top of window, where the decoration meets the gtk-window)... this is to help ensure little to no "tearing", when using compositing effects which "heavily" distort windows - like wobbly windows, shift-switcher, etc. (there aren't any comparable effects in Mutter/Gnome-shell, that i have seen yet). - So i needed to fix problems that were quite visible in the original Atolm-gtk3 theme, when using Compiz++. had i not fixed them, the theme would have appeared very messy and somewhat broken on my desktop....
I also wanted sharp edges and borders to be more defined, as i often use window-tiling and also have a very dark-desktop. - i don't like having to focus my eyes to hard, so i also prefer contrast of colors and tones. I work from home (@ two of my jobs) and spend a lot of late nights in front of the computer - light themes and/or themes with color schemes that lack contrast - become hard on the eyes, or cause you to need to be closer to the monitor. (which is bad for the eyes) i am even quite comfortable reading from 3/5 feet away - no joke!
...and i do prefer how nautilus' icon-view looks in my theme. the toolbar and background blend quite nicely (although i wish the toolbar had transparency, so that when scrolling, the icons would fade under the toolbar - that would be sweet!!! although at some point, i'm planning on ditching Nautilus anyway, when " Marlin" becomes production ready.
My theme still needs some work, and i have a few things i intend to add, as well. but i think another few hours of tweaking it, will enhance it and fix any issues... ( i've only put in maybe 45minutes to maybe an hour, so far - and this is my first attempt at gtk3 .css styling)...
but i am thankful, because your theme provided a nice-base and i was able to learn a little bit more about theming becasue of it thanks again for your theme!

[SOLVED] Gray Boxes in GTK3/Gnome 3.4/Gnome Shell

Greetings,
I have googled for this, but maybe my lack of ablility to exactly describe the issue as a search term is why I can't find anything. But I hve a problem that is just driving me crazy....
I have gray boxes that are round menu items, tab names, the clock and user name when screen is locked, etc... that is really throwing off the look of my desktop and driving me crazy.
Here are some screenshots to hopefully show what I mean.
The first two are with the adawita theme. The least one is with the evolve theme to show it doesn't seem to matter what the gtk theme is.
Here is what I've done:
1.) This might be why it had happened: I tried out gnome-unstable for a few hours, to get a look at gnome shell 3.6. After deciding that I wasn't ready to move to it yet (some of the extensions that I'd still want for it aren't there yet), I removed the repository, did a pacman -Syy, did a pacman -Rcsn of gnome, then reinstalled gnome as per the wiki.
2.) I have removed all of the stuff on /home to get a fresh start after seeing the boxes.
3.) I have removed with Rcsn and reinstalled gnome.
4.) I have made sure to install the gtk2 theme engines, just in case.
5.) I read through the gtk+, gnome pages on our wiki.
6.) I googled.
And yet, I still have those damnable graphic glitches....
So I am banging my head against a wall here, I do hope someone here can help, at least point me in the right direction. Thanks!
UPDATE
Ok, so I have fixed my issue. I ended up pretty much removing everything except the base system, xorg, video drivers, and such. Somehow or another, there were left behind traces of my brief experiment with 3.6 that was causing the issue.
Once I got down to almost a fresh new start I was able to re-install gnome and the graphic mess-ups were gone.

Gnome shell volume always back to previous setting when reboot

Hello,
I have one little bug with the volume icon in gnome shell. When I set the volume to another level. Whenever I reboot, the seeting is lost and it's back to the previous level (lower in my case).
Any idea?
Pitou!

Agamemnon wrote:I've solved this problem on my computer by installing pavucontrol.
I sat the settings at 100%, reboot, remove the package pavucontrol and it's working like a charm now.
That's odd, I was having the same issue and solved by installing alsa-utils instead. I don't have pavucontrol installed.
I'm quite new to Arch and I was thinking about reporting this as a bug against the pulseaudio package in the Arch tracker, but I would like someone to tell me if this is a good idea first...
EDIT: I should clarify that I didn't have to run 'alsactl store' or any other command; installing the package and changing the volume did the trick.

New Maintainer of gnome-shell-theme-nord

Hello Friends!
I've been using Arch for a year and a half, give or take, and decided it's high time to start giving back. So I've decided to adopt the gnome-shell-theme-nord and have already updated the PKGBUILD by adding wget to the dependencies and removing ttf-droid (as requested) and gnome-shell-extension-user-themes (because it no longer exists, integrated to the shell) from the optional dependencies.
I'm not sure if there's really anything else to do, the AUR wiki page doesn't have any more steps AFAIK. If you have any tips, corrections, etc. for me, please let me know!

hi,
your screenshot doesn't work. Maybe you post another one which is working so we could help you.
(your english is not that bad, dude )
€: oh if I copy the url of the image it works. ok this looks weird. have you selected a new theme after deleting yours?

Gnome-shell-extension-user-theme does not work.

Hello everyone,
I am having an interesting issue with using custom gnome-shell themes via the gnome-tweak-tool and user-theme extension on a fresh install today. It is showing as enabled in the shell extension list, but when trying to select a gnome-shell theme, it's grayed out and says extension is disable. All other theme options work correctly. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
thanks in advance.

Yes, there's a problem with the latest version of user theme package. See last post in this thread (post #75):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127459&p=3
Basically, you need to remove user theme extension, download the one specified in that post and install that instead, using pacman -U packagename
I just fixed that same problem on my machine less than 10 minutes ago

[SOLVED] gnome-shell-extension-user-theme doesn't work.

gnome-tweak-tool shows that I have the gnome-shell-extension-user-theme extension installed and I can turn it on and off, but it has no effect. I still can't choose a theme. The exclamation mark next to the drop down selector is still active when the extension is on. Any idea what might be wrong?

It seems like this and many other little "issues" would be easier to catch with just one *-editor. What's the point of two?
Well yea I agree, but atm it's not going to happen. Anyway, since GS won't work with Catalyst for now I resorted to DWM and try to avoid all the gconf/dconf stuff. Works quite well

Setting a GTK3 theme without Gnome-Shell?
