[arch-general] GTK app appearance
Hi . I have been unhappy with the way a few GTK based programes i use looked Firefox Gftp and Bluefish , So i installed gtk-qt-engine-1.1-3 and whilst some of the problems have gone away i now have silly things like no highlighting of the bookmarjs when the mouse is over them no visable entry boxes and no scroll bars in Firefox (i did let the GTK Styles & fonts) install the firefox scroll bar fix to no avail any ideas / fixes Thanks Pete . -- Powered by Kernel: 3.2.1-2-ARCH KDE Development Platform: 4.7.4 (4.7.4) 09:17:17 up 1 day, 9:46, 5 users, load average: 0.07, 0.08, 0.07

I use oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3, which work flawlessly. The GTK version requires creating ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini with the following contents: [Settings] gtk-theme-name = oxygen-gtk Also, have you checked out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_QT_and_GTK_Application...

+1 I use oxygen-gtk on my XFCE desktop and it works like a charm. I've only ever run into one app that has a problem with it. DR

Don't use firefox as reference, it has a history of using UI elements in wrong ways. This goes as far as making it unusable with dark themes.
