I noticed that gtk-oxygen-molecule didn't obey system colour changes and seeing a thread on it one day I decided to see if I could find a resolution.  See this post to see what I tried.  Having failed in my task(and having lost interest) I switched back to the default blue colour and continued on.  Recently though I have changed my system colours to a greener theme and, to my surprise since I'm using gtk-oxygen-molecule only, non-QT apps changed colours and now look like this:



As opposed to what QT apps look like:



This makes my computing life more difficult(especially browsing with Firefox), but I'm stubborn and keeping the green colours.  How can I resolve this?  I'd prefer being pointed to a config file I can edit as opposed to a GUI solution, but I'll take whatever works.

Uninstalling gtk-qt-engine and qtcurve-gtk2 doesn't remove the config files they generate.  I had to remove the following files to get rid of the colour issue with non-QT apps:

/home/foo/..gtkrc-2.0-kde4
.kde4/share/config/gtkrc
.kde4/share/config/gtkrc-2.0

Now all non-QT apps display the default oxygen molecule blue colours.  Doesn't quite fix the issue, but does make non-QT apps readable now.
