[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

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/

  • Lock apps without install the jailbreak

    Hello!
    Do you know any way to lock apps without install the jailbreak? I'm not sure if it is good and safe to instal jailbreak. I heard that jailbreak is bad for iphone... is it true?

    There is no way to do what you want on a non-jailbroken iPhone. Regarding jailbreaking, read here:

  • How do I get audio for my apps without headphones?

    How do I get audio for my apps without headphones?  For some reason I can only hear the audio for many of my apps through my headphones. I've got the latest version of the OS so I'm not sure what else to do.  Volume works fine for all apps that use video like Netflix and YouTube. Help!

    Instead of turning it off, try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the reset is not enough to knock a little sense into it, make sure that everything is backed up and restore the iPad to the factory settings.

  • [Solved] ugly theme in some apps

    Hi
    I have install arch along with kde. In some apps like firefox, trnasmission etc. the application interface is ugly so I installed oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3 but none of them are appearing in system-setting. I haven't use gnome much but I think this ugly appearence of some apps is due to missing gtk style. Am I right? How can I fix it?
    Regards

    Firefox is a GTK2 application and Transmission is a GTK3 application. Themes for both toolkits can easily changed by editing the configuration files for GTK2 and GTK3. (See here)
    Also, see here for more information on configuring Oxygen in KDE.
    Lastly, isn't there a checkbox in "System Settings" (a KDE application) that says something like "Manange themes for other toolkits"? Do you have that enabled?

  • How Can I Simulate Double-Clicking A File To Open It In The Default App Without Installing Default App?

    I have an app written with Visual Studio 2013. The app has code for opening a file using the standard OpenFileDialog and also has code (AutoOpenFile()) for opening a file when a user double-clicks on a file that is handled by the app. I have not yet created
    an installer for the app, so I won't be able to test it's AutoOpenFile() code...unless there is a way to simulate the process of auto-opening the double-clicked file without actually installing the app on my PC. Anyone?

    Thanks for your reply, Wyck. I already have the necessary code in my app for opening a file when I double-click on it. The problem is that the app is not currently installed on my PC. Until I do install it, is there a way I can test-run that code
    by double-clicking on an associated file?
    You lost me at: you want to test-run code that is not on your PC.
    O_o
    You want to double-click a file, and then...what do you want to have happen?  You want to run...something...that is not on your PC??
    The "simulation" is to launch your app from the command line and pass in the name of the file you wanted to simulate a "double-click" of.
    Regardless, you cannot get the shell to have a double-click of a file cause your application to launch unless you modify the registry to do so.  (This is tantamount to "install" to me.)
    In the spirit of continuing to be helpful, though, I'll assume that this is what you want to do and I'll show you how to get it done with the least amount of tampering with your registry.
    Here are minimally invasive registry modifications you need to make to get it to launch a program when you double-click your file.  It's pretty small.
    EXAMPLE ONLY:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wyck]
    @="Wyck.Document"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wyck.Document\shell\open\command]
    @="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
    [You have to save the above with your appropriate modifications to a file with the
    .reg extension (e.g.: test.reg) and then you'll have to double-click the test.reg file to "merge" these settings into your registry.]
    The example above registers a file extension called .wyck and assigns a completely arbitrary class name to it called
    Wyck.Document.
    Then it associates a shell open command with the Wyck.Document class that causes
    notepad.exe to be passed the filename of the file you double-clicked (that's what the
    %1 does).  You are welcome to replace all the specific names with your own extensions and class names and replace notepad.exe with the path to your (test) executable.
    This executable will be launched, but not with a debugger attached.  To facilitate debugging it, you'll want to temporarily add some code to your program to pause when the program launches, possibly by showing a message box right at the very beginning
    of your main function that says "attach debugger now" so that you can attach a debugger to the process that was started by the shell, and then dismiss the message box and continue debugging.
    When you are done with your testing, you can simply manually delete those two registry keys using
    regedit.

  • Background not applied when choosing theme for AIR app

    Hi,
    I'm using the latest version of FB4 (4.0.1) and when I choose a theme to apply to my AIR app (using the Flex Theme section in the project properties) it mostly works except for the background color which is always white unless I set it explicitly on the WindowedApplication. 
    This is obviously a pain because if I decide to change themes I need to work out what colour to set as the background.
    I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong or missing something.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Mac apps are different from iPad apps.  I don't know if you realize that.
    The way to search for iPad apps on your Mac would be to use iTunes.  Hopefully you have synched at least one of the iPads using iTunes.  If so, iTunes houses the apps, and you could search for them there.

  • Paying for Cards App without Credit Card

    Is there any way to pay for the card I made in the Cards App without a credit card? I set my account information to "No Credit Card" but Cards keeps telling me I am missing information. I have enough iTunes Credit to pay for it why can't I use that?

    Really late on this, but just in case anyone has this question: anytime you "gift" something on the itunes store to someone else, it charges your credit card instead of your gift card. Simply send the "gift" to your own email (perhaps not associated with your apple ID) and then just redeem the code it sends you in your itunes account

  • 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...

  • Is it possible to run AIR apps without installing them?

    Hi there,
    Just have a sudden thought. Most Adobe AIR apps I have seen required installation before execution. Is it actually launch the application directly from the .air file without installatoin?
    You know, some users are quite reluntant to "install" software onto their machine, and moreover in some environment "installation" requires special priviliege. For some tiny utilities, (e.g. a simple calculator, you name it), it would be really handy for users to be able to exceute them directly after downloading the .air file, or even directly from web pages.
    Thanks,
    Kenneth

    I see. Thanks for your help.
    Really wish Adobe would consider adding direct execution feature to AIR.

  • [SOLVED] GTK3 Apps Look Crappy in XFCE4

    Hello,
    I've been running XFCE4 for a while, and I have several GTK3 applications that don't look very good, such as Glade (extra/glade 3.10.0-2), or even things as simple as my ScreenShot scripts, that I have bound to <Print> and <Alt>Print.
    Here is a screenshot of my ScreenShot script.
    and a screenshot of Glade 3.10.0.
    MOD EDIT : follow image posting rules -- Inxsible
    http://themattbeballin.doesntexist.com/ … deGTK3.png
    Now, I did think it was part of my script using Zenity for my screenshot, until it did it in Glade too.
    I tried using these fixes I found in the forums.
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 88#p935988
    and
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 73#p914873
    Neither of which actually worked. Maybe it was just my computer, but neither seemed to have worked. Are there any fixes for this issue?

  • [Solved] Slow resizing for some apps under KDE4.

    I use KDE4 (with the default theme) and Radeon graphic card (free driver). My problem is that the resizing of some windows is really slow. The problem does not appear with the KDE QT applications, but mostly for some old apps. Claws-mail is particularly affected. I do not think it is really a driver problem because claws-mail is unaffected in other window manager (as the default one in Ubuntu, with the same driver) as well in more primitive window managers like icewm. Moreover, native KDE4  QT apps behave properly.
    It seems that modern Qt apps redraw approximatively while the resizing and do a final, complete redraw when it is finished, so it is smooth. Claws-mail redraw every time and it's not smooth. However, with other window managers, claws-mail does not redraw at all while the resizing and redraw one time at the end which is less visually appealing, but nevertheless smooth (it was probably the old method); for some reason it redraw every time while the resizing in KDE4.
    I am only guessing and have not been able to find a proper documentation nor any fix. Anyone can point me in the right direction?

    I reply to my own post. The culprit was the oxygen GTK theme under KDE. Under KDE, change it to Raleigh with System Setting -> Application Appearance -> GTK and the problem is solved. I had a problem with bluegriffon (from the AUR) that crashes. It was suggested here that the oxygen GTK theme was the culprit: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic … Xb92OyWNj8 . Indeed, after changing the theme, no more crash, and as no more problem with resizing windows!. Strange bugs though, I would have thought of everything but the GTK theme ?!?
