 Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2003 9:31 pm Post subject: gtk 1 themes |
 |
|
| I'm running a couple gtk1 apps under flux and am trying to change the themes. I emergbed gtk themes. (i didn't emerge gtk-engins-eazel since it won't build). When i run switch ... nothing happens. I'm passing it the nemes of dirs in /usr/share/themes. what's wrong? should i move to gtk2? Would that help? |

I use fluxbox and gtk1. To change themes, I use "gnomecc" but for some gtk1 themes you need some gtk-engine (I think that you already know this...  )
For example, I have emerged "x11-themes/gtk-engines-pixmap" and "x11-themes/gtk-engines-xenophilia". To simply know if you need this gtk-engines or other, launch gnomecc from a terminal, and you will try to set the theme, if you have error messages in the terminal, that will say that you to install some gtk-engines (I think also that you're already know this.... )
Maybe I'm not really good to explain but I hope that you understand what I want to mean and that can help you 
Just for information :
| Code: | localdomain root # qpkg -l -I -f /usr/bin/gnomecc
gnome-base/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1 *
CONTENTS:
/usr/bin/gnomecc

This works for gaim, evolution etc - but does nowt for PAN, gkrellm etc.
Any reason?

maybe : x11-themes/gtk-theme-switch (I don't have gtk2, so I've didn't test it).
FYI, I'm using gaim 0.59.8 and gtk1 and I've no problem with my gtk1 themes. |

well, all of my GTK1 stuff works fine using gnomecc.
However NONE of my GTK2 stuff works 
(in fact it al has quite an ugly large font too !)
