[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 ?

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 ?

[SOLVED] Remove toolbar-borders in gtk-theme

Hi, I've tried stuff with ythickness = 0 but now I'm done with it and posting here: how to remove the lines above and below the toolbar like indicated in the screenshot? Gtkrc here, it belongs to Cobra-Orange but I modified it to have transparancy and stuff. Get that Cobra theme and replace the gtkrc if you want to try for yourself.

Can you tell me how to change this one thing (that triangle in red circle)?
That's the resize-grip. Tweaking depends on your theme engine. If it's pixmap you can gimp the .png file, else you'll need to find the right class to tweak, probably somewhere near the statusbar section. Search for "function = RESIZE_GRIP". You can disable by
GtkStatusbar::has-resize-grip = FALSE
Post your gtkrc if you need more.

[SOLVED] Need a recommendation on GTK theme.

Requirements:
* Light (not dark, dark themes are really bad with some apps, including firefox's "awesome bar", gnome keyboard layout indicator, etc. And light themes are more comfortable for eyes).
* Menus should be light too! Some themes are doing them dark while everything else is light (e.g., Ubuntu's Ambiance).
* Good contrast (don't like blurry elements, eyes get tired on those).
* Not a brown, orange, or some other pesky color (thank you, Ubuntu, for being so popular and so brown!).
* ... of course, nice, polished, professional look.
I've tried to find something matching by myself, but I've failed.
So, I'm looking for help.
If you're going to answer, please include a screenshot and a link to the theme.
Also, a matching metacity theme and icon set would be also great.
EDIT: Solution is here: [link].

[SOLVED] Firefox 18 + Oxygen KDE theme, missing scrollbar integration

Hi!
For those of you who are using Firefox 18 from AUR: firefox-kde-opensuse-18.0-1-x86_64
and applied the Oxygen KDE integration: Oxygen KDE (patched) 3.9.1
do you also have missing integration as regards the firefox page scrollbar? It looks like w95ish, as if no theme was applied. All the rest is nice, buttons, tabs, menus, except the scrollbar...
Bye!
Last edited by marcopus (2013-01-29 15:25:06)

Now it's fixed! I missed the oxygen-gtk2 and gtk-qt-engine from the official repo.
Then I removed all firefox add-ons (such as themes etc.) and selected oxygen-gtk style from the "GTK Styles and Fonts" in the KDE "Settings" menu. Then I clicked on "Install scrollbar fix..." from the "Firefox and Thunderbird" section, and restart the browser.
Now it's all well integrated, scrollbars included.

[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.

[SOLVED] Fluxbox and gtk theme

I have a problem with fluxbox. Some programs using gtk themes (e.g. spacefm, audacious) have ugly grayish 'redmond' look. I have tried to follow this how-to:
http://wiki.fluxbox.org/index.php?title … gtk_themes
and also tried to switch theme with lxapperance and gtk-chtheme. No success. The gtk-chtheme shows a correct theme, so within the preview the theme is fine. However, it won't change the appearance of other windows. Some other programs like firefox or thunderbird change the theme.
I have also tried to compile spacefm with gtk3 support and use adwaita theme. Again I got the ugly look. In other desktop managers, e.g. lxdm both spacefm and audacious look as expected.
Last edited by kmiernik (2013-05-15 11:23:25)

Thanks guys! It must have been something in the .config/gtk-3.0 folder. Once I removed it and created settings.ini like this one:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-icon-theme-name = Tango
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
gtk-font-name = Sans 8
gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1
gtk-visible-focus = automatic
I can have a normal appearance of gtk3 applications. Interesting thing is that this is exactly the same settings file I have tried before. Probably something else in the folder was overriding the theme.

[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.

anonymous_user wrote:k9copy and k3b are KDE apps not Qt.
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] Problem with GTK+ themes (some of the applications look ugly)

Hey everyone,
I just switched to Arch and have problems with getting the GTK+ themes to work. Some applications (i.e. pcmanfm, firefox) use the theme I set with lxappearance and other like transmission still look ugly. Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

Another possibility is that you have the correct theme but don't have the associated theme engine installed. Poke around the themes a bit:
For a GTK2 theme: in the "theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" file look for the line that says "engine" and a name. Make sure you have that name installed.
For a GTK3 theme: in the "theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css" file also look for "engine" and the name. Also make sure that engine is installed.
Themes are almost always in "/usr/share/themes/theme_name"
The files you look for to see which engine a theme uses may be in different files than the ones specified above, poke around in the files. The file that specifies the engine will be a text file so you can look at them using "less" or an alternative.

[solved] Fluxbox + LXappearance gtk theme not changing in certain prog

I'm using fluxbox with LXappearance, which is working great, except that gedit and empathy don't change their gtk theme. All the other programs on my computer do change to the theme I pick in LXappearance. Does anyone know if there is a reason for this? (maybe its gnome or ubuntu related?)
Its not a huge deal, but the behavior is sorta weird. I don't get any error messages or anything either.

Those programs appear to be set to use GTK 3 themes now, which seem not to be compatible with GTK 2 themes (and vice-versa). I had the same problem, so had to specify a theme in .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini but of course it's still not a match for the apps that use the GTK 2 theme instead.

Update:
Tried reinstalling, change the fonts, remove all font clear the cache.
change, look up the settings, looked up size, tried monitor dpi.
checked all the config files for anything remotely related to this problem.
Had a quick look at the bug tracker for google-chrome-beta as well no reported
font problems as far as i can find.
Update2:
Tried adding custom.css to the browser not even that worked.
update3: [SOLVED]
So i solved the problem.
The problem was a faulty font that was stuck and used in the pre somehow.
Removed and added another to the list and somehow that worked.
recommendations - if anyone has this problem in the future.
open firefox and look in the font tab what is used. and remove that
or try to install a fixed one. that should work.
-Nothing has yielded any working results.
So any ideas at this point would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

KDE4 Quirk Fixes: Desktop Servicemenus & GTK Themes

Since I have spent quite some time with frustration trying to get kde 4.2 to work properly, I finally solved 2 of my most annoying problems. I figured this might help someone else out, so it couldn't hurt to post. Note that both of these are rather hackish solutions, but until better ways come about, they work just fine for me and probably will for you. I'm not sure which of these are caused by actual bugs as opposed to something I don't understand yet, so I will hold off on reporting them until I'm sure.
Servicemenus:
If you've noticed that you -can't- unzip/unrar/untar for some reason ONLY on the desktop (presumably in folderview as well, since the desktop is just a folderview plugin of sorts), I seem to have figured out why and how to work around it. I noticed at random that somehow my Root Actions Servicemenu was working, which no right click menus had been before. I was baffled. In looking around for a solution with the hope of getting my others to work, I removed the ark* servicemenus from /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ (the kdemod4 servicemenus folder. it may be diff for normal kde4) and installed extract-compress-servicemenu-kde4 from AUR. Good news -- on logging out and in, i had a compress menu on right click. Buuuuuuuut...no extract. Which renders it virtually useless for me. After all sorts of looking around, comparing, trial and error, it seems that (confirmed by doing it to 4 different non-working servicemenus) the argument %F is not accepted in 4.2 servicemenus on the desktop/folderview and they just don't show up at all. Replacing %F with %U in the servicemenus and logging out and in.. magic! Being able to extract files without manually opening konqueror or Ark, via right click! With the desktop backend and easy servicemenus working, the desktop is finally useful again. YAY. I confirmed this by doing the same thing to 4 different previously-not-working servicemenus, which had been converted from KDE3 via this:
#sudo cp /opt/kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/* /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ use this line to copy from kdemod3 dir to kdemod4 dir
#copy your other servicemenus to the corresponding dir above
cd /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ #for kdemod4
sudo sed -i "s/\[Desktop Entry\]/\[Desktop Entry\]\nType=Service/" *
sudo sed -i "s/ServiceTypes\=/ServiceTypes\=KonqPopupMenu\/Plugin\,/" *
This helpful botch of a previously good script (tweaked to fit my system, pathetically hardcoded to take from kdemod3 and give to kdemod4) was taken from here:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.ph … tent=80131
SO:
1) Convert the servicemenu from kde3 if it's not a kde4 one already with the above stuff.
2) Replace %F with %U. Another argument may suffice. Note that this could possibly screw stuff up if you attempt to do multiple files, but as a workaround, at least it makes things work!
3) log out and in
GTK Themes:
It seems that systemsettings->appearance->colors->options->apply colors to non-kde4 apps screws up the colors on the system for gtk apps. Gtk-qt-engine didn't work for me whatsoever (ended in an ugly flat theme) when installed and activated in systemsettings/appearance with qtcurve-kde4, and gtk-kde4 turned the text green and screwed up some things. I couldn't fix the former, but disabling what seems to be the logical setting to use in the settings manager seems to fix the text problems, and somehow they were the colors they should have been.
Alternatively, use identical (qtcurve or oxygen) themes on gnome/gtk and kde4/qt and use lxappearance as said in the wiki to set them to be the same, using the color disabling given above.

Hi, I'm working on this issue also, over at Chakra CCR.
Here is what I figured out so far:
Problem:
1. awn-settings is searching for the icons of its gui.
2. If one of them is missing, it tries to substitute it with the icon named "gtk-missing-image"
3. If it doesn't find this neither, the error happens and awn-settings won't start.
All this happens in /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/awn-settings/awnClass.py lines 1017 - 1047
As soon as I substituted both occurences of "gtk-missing-image" with "folder" (or any random kde icon) there, it works.
When you open awn-settings then, you'll see, that "Task-Manager" and "Advanced" have the folder as their icon.
The according errors in the commandline are:
Could not locate the following icon: gtk-execute
Could not locate the following icon: gtk-properties
Now for a kde-version of awn, all we have to figure out is
1. where those two icons get called (through the "safe_load_icon()" method) and replace their names with their kde equivalents.
2. Maybe replace the fallback icon with something more meaningfull than "folder"
