Google Earth and Skype theme

  • 772

I use Google Earth and Skype since version Jaunty, and so far emulation Qt theme for GNOME runs perfectly, but when I use the default theme Ambiance and Radiance in Maverick, both applications look bad. Qt theme is not integrated with GTK. Especially for the Equinox engine (it's cool theme).

To outsmart, I stole the Lucid's Ambiance and Radiance Standard Themes for use in the Maverick.

Is any another solution for the default theme Ambiance and Radiance in Maverick run perfectly on both the application? And especially for the theme Equinox.

  1. Since Version 4.3 Google Earth accepts the parameter -style GTK|plastique|cleanlooks. There is a (rough) way to force Google Earth to use the theme that is set:

    1. Install the getlibs deb package (not available in the repositories)
    2. Rename/Move all libraries related to Qt from Google Earth by deleting all files beginning with libQt within the Google Earth directory: sudo mv /usr/lib/googleearth/libQt* $HOME
    3. Install the 32-bit library of libphonon4: sudo getlibs -p libphonon4

  2. For Skype, you can change the theme it uses.
