 |
|
Is there any way to apply a gtk theme to a specific application (ie. different than the theme for all other applications)?

Actually for my purposes it is necessary.
I want to put a skin on a particular application, actually OpenOffice. I most likely don't want this same skin on other applications, so I want to apply it only to OpenOffice.
I haven't really been able to dig anything up on the topic, so any tips & tricks are appreciated. |

I've solved this, if anyone is interested. You need to map a different .gtkrc-2.0 file for the different app.
1) create file .gtkrc-2.0.OpenOffice # this should be similar to the regular .gtkrc-2.0, but with the different theme
2) from the same terminal do this:
| Code: | export GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-2.0.OpenOffice
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
oowriter2
|
OpenOffice will use this new theme and all other apps use the default theme. When you update the theme using an app like gtk-chtheme it will only change the default, leaving OpenOffice alone. |
