[SOLVED] Some GTK apps look funny in XFCE

Hi again!
Some of my apps like bluefish, cairo-dock settings, and others do not look uniform to the rest of the environment. The dropdown menus, checkboxes and the like get's ugly gray shadings around them.
Is there a way to make it look uniform?

I found out that installing this theme: clearlooks-phenix-gtk-theme-git and choosing it in XFCE's own system settings made did it

[SOLVED] Why do some GTK apps refuse to change appearance?

I have some gtk applications like Brasero, Nautilus etc. that do not follow lxappearance config in "~/gtk-3.0/setting.ini" and ".gtkrc-2.0"

gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
gtk-font-name="Sans 10"

pcmanfm however does work fine and correctly uses icons/themes, while others do use some default icons and pretty ugly theme.
Why is so?

pcmanfm and pidgin use gtk2, brasero and nautilis gtk3. lxappearance sets correctly gtk2 and fails at gtk3 as said before. GT2 and GTK3 configs are not the same. GTK3 is backwars compatible IIRC meaning you can use your gtk3 theme for gtk2 apps but not viceversa.
Seems that something in your gtk3 config is wrong ¿Are you using a gtk2 theme for gtk3?

[KDE] Icon theme in some GTK+ apps is stuck to Oxygen

I've been trying to figure out what my problem is for a few days now... For some reason, when I try to change the icon theme to anything besides Oxygen for GTK apps when I'm using the oxygen-gtk theme, it doesn't change. But if I switch to a theme such as Raleigh, it uses my icon theme.
The icon theme I am trying to set is KFaenza. I also tried Faenza-Cupertino, using Faenza as a fallback, but that didn't work either.
I saw this topic, which is almost my exact issue. This didn't help either.
I tried multiple tweaks to my .gtkrc-2.0, such as commenting out the theme name, the first "include" (that sets my theme to oxygen-gtk), and commenting out the fallback icon theme line. None of these work.
I also tried putting the icon themes in /usr/share/icons, which didn't help.
I am using the System Settings module to set my GTK+ theme. I have an up-to-date system (just reinstalled a couple of days ago).
Currently I am using an unmodified gtkrc created by System Settings.
Hopefully all this info helps, and thanks in advance for any answers!
UPDATE: I just installed gconf-editor to see if I could fix anything in there. It just turns out that gconf-editor is obeying my settings and this is a problem with Chromium and not GTK.
UPDATE #2: I also installed Firefox and it is also not obeying my settings.

Copy the icon theme folder to /usr/share/icons
(ex. if your icon theme folder's name is Oxygen-Refit, it should be at /usr/share/icons/Oxygen-Refit)
Then edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde and add the line baghera suggested. It works here.
Note that you need to do this to .gtkrc-2.0 (yes, thats without -kde) too if you don't use gtk-qt-engine to change gtk themes.
Also note that every time you change the gtk theme (either via systemsettings or via 3rd party utility) this line is autoremoved from the corresponding file(s).
Finally, make sure you close the gtk app you want the change to be shown and reopen it. All newly opened gtk apps should show the change.

[SOLVED] Delete Chromium App Desktop shortcut in XFce 4.8

I just want to ask how I can delete chromium app shortcut from the xfce menu?
[not the actual chromium icon, but a shortcut of webapp that I created using chromium]
I am using LXDE Menu Editor, because alacarte does not work for me.
LXMED can see and do everything I want apart from the fact that it can't see shortcuts to webapps created by chromium.
Let me put it this way:
I had created an web - desktop shortcut [to grooveshark] using chromium's tools [Menu > Tools > Create Aplication Shortcut...], it created a new entry called 'Grooveshark' under Internet category in my xfce menu, which I now want to delete.
How can I do that?
I was thinking about .desktop files, but since LXMED cannot see this shortcut, I am assuming that this may not be a standard .desktop file.
Maybe there is even some really easy way of deleting this shortcut directly from chromium, but I can't see one.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Thanks, I have another little question;
I have a quick access to Web Browser, Mail Reader, File Manager and Terminal using the 'quick access slots' at the top of xfce application menu.
When I did some of my menu edits using lxde menu editor, I noticed that I 'pulled off' my 'Web browser' shortcut from quick slot - how can I restore it?
Thanks,
I am still getting familiar with xfce...

[SOLVED] Fonts and themes look strange in xfce

Hi all,
I've recently installed Arch Linux on my laptop and I've installed xfce4 as desktop environment. It's all ok except that the fonts and themes.
Here some screenshots:
http://architetturearoma.altervista.org … arch/2.png
http://architetturearoma.altervista.org … arch/3.png
The first one is with the clearlooks theme, the second one with graybird.
Do you see how fonts looks weird?
Why graybird is rendered in this way?
I may have forgotten some essential packages?

[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?

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] Running GTK apps without themes

You will have to excuse me if this sounds wrong. But I wished to know if it's possible to run GTK themes without any GTK themes.
Justr curious what the results may actually be and how to go about disabling GTK theme entirely.

I deleted all the themes and Raleigh is still the fallback theme.

Printing in GTK apps cause app to lockup for a few [SOLVED]

On my laptop I dont normally have a printer hooked to it directly. Normally I would create PDF's or PS files and transfer them to one of my other systems and print from there.
However, now I have a HP PSC 1410 that is working on the laptop. I have it setup in CUPS and both printer and scanner parts are working perfectly.... from KDE based apps.
Whenever I try and print anything from Firefox, or OpenOffice, I get a significant delay (upwards of 10 minutes) before the dialog box opens, and when it does it doesnt show the printer that was setup in CUPS.
On my other systems, printing from firefox never caused any problems.
I had noticed this behaviour before I installed this current printer, and I am suspicious that I might have messed something up when trying to setup network printing to a windows machine some time ago.
I've been looking and looking and kind find any problem with settings, nor can I google for help because the only terms I can think of to describe the problem are so generic that I get nothing that relates to my problem.
Anyone had this problem? Anyone got an idea on where to start? In a possibly related note, my vmware has a delay in it when starting up too. Havent nailed that one down either.
Archlinux has been installed on this laptop since before 0.6 was released, so its not a new installation.

Ok, I found the problem. While looking at some gtk stuff, I discovered gtklp. When I ran it, the first time it seemed to get stuck. So I figured that there must be something wrong with some gtk settings somewhere. I let it sit for a few minutes and then killed the process.
After messing around some more, I tried it again, same thing. This time I didnt kill it. After quite some time, it came back with an error saying that it couldnt connect to 192.168.4.110. That happened to be the IP address of my old server that is no longer there. That got me curious, so I did a search for files containing that string, and found /etc/cups/client.conf. I looked in there and had ServerName set to that IP. I must of done that at some point trying out something. Putting ServerName at 127.0.0.1 seems to have fixed my printing problems.
I figured it was something stupid I did a long time ago, and I was at least right about that

[solved]Fontconfig problems (Ugly GTK Apps)

So I just installed the LCD filter patched packages on my new comp, but I'm trying to determine why some of my GTK apps still look really bad..

Hey there.
When I first installed arch, x11, xmonad, and gtk, the fonts looked like crap on my screen too. I ran over a ~/.Xdefaults setup that included:
! Xft settings ---------------------------------------------------------------
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
After restarting X, the ugly fonts were gone. I also switched the fonts used in gtk (using lxappearance) to the microsoft cleartype fonts (yeah yeah freedom hater). Don't forget you have to source ~/.Xdefaults from ~/.xinitrc like so:
# make sure the X Defaults gets loaded
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults
Also note, lxappearance is a great app for changing gtk+ themes.

[SOLVED] Bug with GTK apps - Icons didn't render correctly

Hello.
I had been experiencing a strange behaviour of GTK apps at one of my arch systems lately - Icons didn't render correctly (screens attached).
It was not critical for work but frustrating enough. Especially in firefox (notice the half-rendered formulas).
It took me quite some time to figure out that this behaviour was caused by a line
"Xft.rgba:1 "
in my .Xdefaults config. After I commented it out the bug disappeared.
Qt apps were not affected by this.
Besides, on my second arch system it didn't cause any trouble.
So, I'm not sure whether it is a bug or not.
If it is, I'm not sure whether the problem is on my side, in package or upstream.
I've decided to post it just in case somebody experience something similar.
Libs versions are:
gtk2 2.24.22-1
gtk3 3.10.6-1
gtkmm 2.24.4-1
gtkmm3 3.10.0-1
The bug was also present in:
gtk2 2.24.20-1
gtk3 3.8.2-1
gtkmm 2.24.4-1
gtkmm3 3.8.1-1

Thanks for the replies guys! For the record it's when I click a window in say lxterminal or pidgin it opens in firefox. I'll take a look through the links you posted and see if I can get it working!

[Solved]GTK apps won't load themes as non root Openbox

I have a very strange problem I need help with. I run Arch with Openbox and my GTK applications look like crap if I run them as normal user but I run as root, they're just like I want them. You see how it looks in this picture, the left is the root and the right are regular users. If you're wondering why they are different themes for it if I change that ordinary users will not save it when I click on execution but changes in the program until I turn it off so the theme works. Anyone know how I can solve this strange problem? Here is also a ouptut of ls -al to see if there are any owner issues.

I think the spacing now is correct, while before it was wrong. The only "problem" is that you got used to a bad font rendering, and now that it has changed for better you feel like it's different and don't like it.
Really, *most* of the problems that people find in Linux's fonts are just because they are used to the awful default fonts from Windows XP. Yes, people can even get used to those fonts and believe they're good!!! And when they see correct fonts in Linux they think they're bad...
What I would do is remove the MS TTF fonts. They work bad in Windows and worse in Linux. You should use Bitstream Vera or DejaVu if you want good quality fonts (especially in web pages).
But, then again, you might think that they look wrong just because you're not used to it... Oh, well...
What does correct font / correct spacing mean ?
IMO, that doesn't make any sense, because that's a totally subjective matter, like many other things in this world.
BTW, I love how fonts look in Windows, and I think that must be the only thing MS got right. Thus, I'm using ms fonts in linux, and a rendering as close as possible (no autohinting or antialiasing or subpixel rendering).
Similarly, I could find a woman beautiful that you would find ugly or just average. We are all different, and it's better that way

[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.

Since you got it from aur, you have to rebuild it yourself.
