 Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2021 7:06 pm Post subject: Tor Browser randomly not using correct GTK theme and mouse c |
 |
|
It started to happen recently. When I start my system or logout/login, maybe two times out of five, Tor Browser is not using my GTK theme, including the cursor theme. I'm using KDE Plasma 5.23 (it also occurred before on 5.22.5). The rest of the time, it uses my custom theme/mouse cursor.
What I've tried so far, to no avail:
- Switching to another theme in System Settings > Appearance > Application Style > Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style... and switching back to my custom theme, which is Monochrome KDE. While this fixes the issue for the current session, it comes back (again, every now and then) after a reboot or a logout.
- Deleting:
| Code: | ~/.cache
~/.gtkrc-2.0
~/.config/gtk-3.0
~/.config/gtkrc
~/.config/gtkrc-2.0 |
- Creating a new user with an empty $HOME: the issue also occurs inconsistently after a few logout/login
Other GTK programs such as Firefox, GIMP or LibreOffice are always using the correct theme. I have Arch Linux installed on the same machine with an identical setup (KDE Plasma, same theme...) and I'm not having this issue.
Any idea?
Thanks! |

Hi
Probably you are using the portable version of tor-browser since it is not available in Gentoo repo.
Suppose you have unpacked it in your home dir.
Then force it to use the theme of your liking by
| Code: |
cd ~/tor-browser_en-US
GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark ./start-tor-browser.desktop ### OR
GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark XCURSOR_THEME=Adwaita ./start-tor-browser.desktop
|
If it works--and apparently it does -- you may wish to edit your desktop launcher if you have created one,or write a simple script to start the browser.

Yes, I'm using www-client/torbrowser-launcher and the program is installed in $HOME/.local/share/torbrowser/.

I knew about this workaround and it works fine indeed, thank you. I never had to do this before and my custom theme / mouse cursor are used 100% of the time on my Arch Install with similar setup. I wonder what happened.
I cannot get the XCURSOR_THEME variable working though, "KDE Classic" is always used no matter which mouse cursor I try (unless Tor Browser uses my GTK settings, once in a while...).
Yet:
| Code: |
echo $XCURSOR_THEME
Bibata-Modern-Ice |
Edit: the XCURSOR_THEME variable works fine for any QT app but doesn't for any GTK app here. |
