How do I apply themes to gtk applications when I'm using Awesome WM?

  • 772

No matter what I use, e.g. gtk-ctheme, and the other apps availible in the repos, gtk applications running under Awesome WM stay ugly.

The same apps look fine when I use unity.

Any thoughts?

  1. Try installing lxappearance

    sudo apt-get install lxappearance

  2. You can edit the gtk config files, like described here http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Customizing_GTK_Apps

    lxappearance works fine too, but if you can't get it done with gtk-ctheme then it probably doesn't work for you either
