 |

Is there some kind of gtk2 configuration app that can do this? I'm stuck with ugly fonts and want flat buttons instead of the raised ones.
Cheers |

will change gtk themes and fonts and will change gtk2 themes and fonts. Just make sure that when you run them you run them as the correct user. If you run them as root then you will only change the themes for the windows that root opens. |

switch2 sees both gtk1 and gtk2 themes, If you try to enable a gtk1 theme in switch2, nothing happens... I made this hack that fixes it so that only gtk2 themes are listed. Im not sure if its correct to use chdir() to check for a directory, but it works much better than the original...

| I believe that the gnome-settings-daemon process must be running in order for gtk2 themes to be applied. The problem with this is that it also manages your wallpaper, so you get some fugliness with your fb styles. |

Pure speculation, but do you have the engines emerged? You also need to emerge some theme engines if you want to use themes.
Pixbuf and Pixmap are the 2 big ones. (at least they work for all the themes I use ) Emerge them and you should have the engine for most themes.
| Code: | emerge gtk-engines-pixbuf gtk-engines-pixmap -p
emerge gtk-engines-pixbuf gtk-engines-pixmap |
Or, if you want EVERY theme under the sun, emerge the theme sets. (same as switch, GTK+ and GTK+2 themes have seperate ebuilds.)
| Code: | emerge /usr/portage/x11-themes/gtk-themes/gtk-themes-1.0-r1.ebuild gtk-themes -p
emerge /usr/portage/x11-themes/gtk-themes/gtk-themes-1.0-r1.ebuild gtk-themes |
After that, you should be good to go. |
