How to succesfully apply GTK3 themes ?
I'm using Mint13 KDE 4.9.5. Changing GTK2 themes goes without problems but applying GTK3 seem difficult. I've installed kde-gtk-config, extracted themes to ~./themes and can choose them in GUI and it makes changes in settings.ini as it should but GTK3 apps still use default (very ugly) theme. How can I make them work?

It sounds to me like you're looking for kde-gtk-config. I wrote an article on my site about how to get it installed with links to where to get both source code and .deb packages.

I use kde-gtk-config (installed from repositories). If I change GTK3 theme to something else and relog/restart it's still uses the default theme. Only time it's different is if I choose oxygen-gtk as both GTK2 and GTK3 theme. But then GTK3 -graphics are broken. There are monochrome square background around all text so it's not really usable. I normally use qtcurve as kde theme and gtk2-engines-qtcurve for gtk2. Would be awesome if I could somehow make GTK3 look same. This can be some kind of dependency issue since I had GTK DEs such as Cinnamon and Gnome Shell 3.5.8 (or similar) installed in this machine from PPA and later purged them. Maybe it broke something.BostonPeng wrote:It sounds to me like you're looking for kde-gtk-config.

Part of it could be a difference between the Mint KDE setup and the LMDE KDE setup that I'm using. I don't recall the settings getting put back to the default but I'm noticing that something similar seems to be happening to someone else over in the LMDE KDE UP6 thread. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.Cerule wrote:I use kde-gtk-config (installed from repositories). If I change GTK3 theme to something else and relog/restart it's still uses the default theme.
