[solved] qt apps look ugly in gnome 3

Hi, All my qt apps (vlc clementine) look really ugly. They are not following the system theme. How can I fix it ?

If by system theme you are referring to the gtk theme, then yes, of course qt won't be using the same theme because, well, it's qt. Try googling for a qt version of your gnome 3 theme. It won't look exactly the same, but that's an age old problem arising from a long long time ago.
However, if you have already set an equivalent theme for qt and it's not showing up then yes, it's a bug.

[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?

ln -s /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0 ~/.config/
After a new login the GTK 3 applications will use the Adwaita theme.
I tried that, didn't work.

Sorry.

[Solved] System fully up-to-date, apps look for old libs

Even though the system is fully updated from a fresh mirror, apps look for older libs: e.g. irssi and wget look for libssl.so.0.9.8, building wget with makepkg wants libgmp.so.3 (the latest is 10). ldd run on said apps returns the newer lib versions, e.g. "libssl.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0". The newer libs are present in /usr/lib/. I've reinstalled the whole toolchain, problematic libs and apps. I've removed ld.so.cache and run ldconfig - it shows libssl.so.1.0.0, not libssl.0.9.8 too.
I have no idea why apps still want older libs. Any ideas will be appreciated.
-edit-
Fixed the typo.

[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.

When using unaliased fonts GTK2 apps look messy

I use antialiasing with exclude range of 8-13px, the small fonts are readable this way. But the same error occurs when using no antialiased fonts. (i use verdana or arial, but the result is the same)
the GTK2 apps look like on the picture below:

i've tried with xfce4, but its the same. i tried to uninstall gtk-qt-engine, and delete the configs, tried some gtk-engines, but didnt solve anything...

append anitalisa false setting in your "/etc/font/local.conf" or "~/.fonts"
this is my setting.

To make KDE apps look like KDE apps

Hi everybody!
I am very new to Arch so please don't be hard on me. :-)
I have some problem with looks of apps. I use Gnome but I also have Xfce and KDE installed. My KDE apps look like this:
As you can see - buttons of Gnome on KDE app. I want to make all apps look like the DE they belong. How do I do that?

I think that that it would be very hard to use Oxygen effects outside KDE (not kwin: oxygen style has it's own effects).
When you turn off those effects in KDE apps lok exactlly the same as on your image.
With effects they look like this:
Maybe someone has managed to „tweak" something.... hope so.

VLC really looks ugly under Openbox (Qt related I think)

Hello Archers
I'm still trying Openbox, and I've met a problem with VLC media player
It really looks UGLY under Openbox, I've searched a little bid, and found that VLC use Qt
I thing that it's THE problem I must have an ugly qt thême set by default...
I googled that, I found something called "Qgtkstyle" and "Qtconfig" but any of them are in the repo
I would like to be able to set a cute qt theme, but I do not want to install too many apps from KDE (I'm very limited by my HDD (2GB))
Thank you
Last edited by Lowra (2010-06-05 09:15:14)

Qtconfig is in the package qt. The style of qt apps is in /usr/lib/qt/plugins/styles. Look this http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=90720. I think that you can copy the style from some installation with kde.

Java gui apps look garbled/distorted?

Hi,
I'm using Java v 1.5 in Windows XP Home and Java apps look garbled (JEdit, exe4j and my own apps). In Linux everything looks normal. Is this a know problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
The problem is that I get this in all apps using the JVM. That is, not just my own apps, but also the Netbeans IDE, JEdit, J4exe etc. I uploaded some screenshots to this location:

Both text and window frames look garbled/distorted. For instance, look at the file menu.

Native Mac Apps looking strange

I'm having issues with the pre-installed OSX apps.
As you can see in the picture, the OSX apps look very strange with weird/incorrect buttons and backgrounds. This is happening on all the native OSX apps, not just Mail. This problem isnt effecting the performance at all, and all the buttons still work as they are supposed to, but it just isnt what it is supposed to be.
PS Dont mind the big white boxes, that isnt part of the problem, I just cut out my personal info. Issues are what is in Red Circles.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue of the rainbow circle buttons/media icon looking background? Other buttons are incorrect as well
I haven't had this issue up until the past week or so, but seeing as I'm in the middle of finals I dont really have the time to try to restore my computer, but I have tried:
Restart
Reset PRAM and SMC
Used OnyX... reset permissions, did whole cleaning
If it helps....
Macbook Pro Mid 2009
OSX 10.9Mavericks
2.53 GHz
2BG memory

UPDATE
I just did the upgrade to OSX 10.9.1 which had a bunch of updates to Mail/Gmail...but the problem still persists

Sorry, after Steven Jobs left, I strongly doubt the prospect of Apple company.
The design is attention-seeking and make no sense. It is all about fancy in stread of user-friendly.
The color hurts my eyes. Please bring back the old design!
As a person who studied visual communication in undergraduate, I cannot stand this design for a second.

GTK3 themes looking ugly

Does anyone know why some themes in gnome3, actually the window theme (titlebar), look ugly like they came back from '95? I've installed Unico gtk3 engine, gtk-engine-murrine, gtk-engines as required by the themes but it doesn't fix the problem. Do I miss a package?

Actually it worked only with one theme: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&secti … 3#/d34mspx
The file you have to edit is in /usr/share/themes/Boomerang/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml
See the comments in the Deviant page.
@alexcriss
No I'm not using cairo. I rebuilded the unico engine and followed your tip but it didn't work. I had this problem with fedora16 too. Anyway I think it's too much of a hussle just for a couple of themes since there are a lot of themes to choose from.

I have downloaded the latest software but it has set my phone to the incorrect time, 8 hours earlier than it is so alarm didn't go off this morning as I hadn't noticed! Won't let me change time. Apps look like cartoons designed by a child. V unhappy

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.
