QGtkStyle and .gtkrc-2.0

**wswartzendruber** · 14th February 2009, 05:03

I installed QGtkStyle and had it show up in KDE4's Control Center and in qtconfig. However, it always falls back to Cleanlooks in appearance. This happens when running both within and without KDE. I have used gtk-theme-switcher2 and gtk-chtheme to setup a .gtkrc file.

Any ideas?

The first thing I can think of is that you are using the GTK_QT theme in Gtk which is default on most KDE distros. Since this theme uses Qt to render, it would have crashed. Another thing to do if you want to use the theme in KDE is to make sure that "apply to non-kde applications" is not checked in your color/palette configuration as this will inject it's own rc file into the system.

That's unchecked, I rebooted KDE, and I'm still getting Cleanlooks. I set the GTK theme to Crux. It doesn't work out of KDE, either.
