 |
|
I'd like to know, if there's a way to tell all running GTK apps to reload the gtkrc on the fly.
In my case, I'd like to implement an event based switch of themes(night/day -> dark/light), but f.e. claws-mail doesn't do it without restarting the application. In the case of claws, once I switched the theme, ie. with gtk-chtheme, the message-preview gets updated, but the folder- and maillistings only update on restart.
I found this little app, which from the description claims to do it, but it just exits with non-zero status.

I know this thread is old, but this information is relevant anyway.
From your link to AUR, I found that someone posted a link to a perl version of the gtkrc-2 reloader.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl
# License: Same as GTK2
use strict;
use warnings;
use Gtk2 '-init';
my $event = Gtk2::Gdk::Event->new("GDK_CLIENT_EVENT");
$event->send_event(1);
$event->window(undef);
$event->message_type(Gtk2::Gdk::Atom->intern("_GTK_READ_RCFILES", 0));
$event->data_format(8);
Gtk2::Gdk::Event->send_clientmessage_toall($event); |
Just tested this perl version and it works fine!
(I still don't know about GTK-3)[/code] |
