gtk3 themes for some programs
« on: February 04, 2013, 12:33:06 PM »
Some programs are appearing that need a gtk3 theme to
color it up right.     Gnumeric for example.

What would be the right way to configure this ?    Manually adjusting
the colors in the gtk3 theme, etc.  or a gui to do so ?

Gnumeric has a command line option to load gtk modules but the gtk3
theme I found was just a directory in the theme directory itself.

To answer my own question a bit at least for the short term
I put this file into /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Code: [Select]
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=GnomishDark (or GnomishGrey or WOW-2)
gtk-icon-theme-name=OxygenRefit2 (or gnome)
gtk-font-name=Sans Bold 10
gtk-cursor-theme-name=wonderland
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=0
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=0
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=0
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb

And it works quite well as long as I don't override it with LXAppearance
and some other gtk3 theme, not as good.   Keeping a separate gtk2
theme for the system wide theme.    Adjust as you will.

Trying to keep a gtk3 config file out of /home/user and also
adjusting the permissions of that file to do so.

Just FYI
