qeldroma Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Several apps are in gtk, so i want to make them look the same, as my kde. There are gtk-themes out there, for that, but i don't find a way to "bring" them in? I do NOT have this mysterious "import gtk" button, someone mentioned here, or in another board, maybe it died out in actual KDE versions.....

thelorax Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hi This is a GTK Theme switcher that can change your gtk 1.2 themes easily. Is that what you want? (there are 9.0 rpms available, just use urpmi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 I don't use kde. I did use gnome2, but stopped being lazy and setup fluxbox. Switch doesn't work for me, in gnome or fluxbox. If you have this prob you can do this. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?p=6404#6404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted November 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 I tried it, but it didn't change anything, i think, kde uses gtk2?? Will try the gtk2 theme switcher now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Did you try gnome-theme-properties? It's the gnome2 theme selector. [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ urpmf gnome-theme-properties gnome-control-center:/usr/bin/gnome-theme-properties [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ rpm -q --whatrequires gnome-control-center gnome2-2.0.1-1mdk [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted November 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 No, though i want not to install gnome :mrgreen: But either or not, gnome is gtk 2 and there are very little resources on the web, ecspacially aqua.... That's why i wanted to switch gtk 1.2, until i noticed, that kde uses gtk 2, too.. Perhaps there's a way to switch back to gtk 1.2 in kde?? LM8.2 was gtk 1,2 and did run kde 3... so it must work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 gnome is gtk 2 and there are very little resources on the web, ecspacially aqua.... Gnome2 is gtk+1.2 & 2.0. My screenshot here isAquaX for gtk2 &1.2 as are others from here and here. It's hard to tell from my screenshot because I'm using fluxbox. In order for some gtk2 & 1.2 themes to load at startup together, I have to run gnome-theme-properties in my ~/.xinitrc. I don't know what this would do in your ~/.kde/Autostart/ dir. A lot of users are asking about this in kde for gaim, gimp, and others, and I would think there'd be an answer somewhere. I may install kde in the next couple of days just to see if I can figure it out. If I do I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 I didn't install kde, but if you're right about kde using gtk2 then it's /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc that you need to edit. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=951 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted November 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 YEAH!!!! Found it!! If you download a gtk-theme, there's always a "gtkrc"-file in it. Just put it as ".gtkrc" in your homedir and change the path in that file to the path of the gtk theme.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 The only thing that has to be in ~/.gtkrc is the path to the themes gtkrc. So, what theme did you use b4 when it didn't work and what theme are you using now that it works, and which is gtk-x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 What path in a themes gtkrc? Pixmap? That's not doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted November 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Oh, it does. ;-) Difficulties can come up with userrights, that's why i symlinked to the gtkrc file and called it .gtkrc. Therefor every user on my machine is in the group "users", i added this group to ALL files. In the theme is the pixmap_path. This must be right. One of my first faults was, that i didn'T uncomment it :mrgreen: So you have to have pixmap_path "/your/path/to/theme/gtk/" at the beginning of each gtkrc-file. If it's missing, just insert ist, that's the way i got some better AquaX-themes working....[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaloScan Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 bvc--How do you get that bar on the left hand side with icons in Fluxbox? The only reason I don't use it currently is because it doesn't have a way of putting icons on the desktop but this seems to come pretty close.

bvc Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 scroll down a bit on this link http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...?t=182&start=60 info http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.ph...t=6309&start=30 more http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...5&highlight=rox qeldroma, thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I have trouble. And yeah, why are some of the pixmap paths commented out? I would think they'd be uncomment and if you had trouble, then we could comment them, but oh well.
