Fluxbox & gtk/Qt

I'm moving to Fluxbox for simplicity, but widgets are killing me. If I haven't installed KDE or Gnome, how do I install/select different widget sets for Qt/gtk?

dependancies are resolved automaticaly, but it u must...

emerge gtk+
emerge qt

isnt portage nice?

now u change themes, u need to edit the right rc file, for gtk its .gtkrc in your home directory i think, or u can use switch2 to change it with a gui, emerge gtk-theme-switch to get it

as for kde.... i have no idea

By default, qt and gtk are in your USE vars which means fluxbox will be compiled with support for qt and gtk and they will have been compiled as a dependency for fluxbox.

For changing widget themes, which could be what you meant, you need to find the relevent how-to as I don't know (haven't really tried yet).

thats becuase the theme is for gtk1, gtk2 themes are no compatible, u have to get the gtk2 version of the theme if they have one
