I am a new user of Manjaro KDE plasma.I updated the system and the then installed apps.Then I changed my theme colors to dark but some apps like firefox , pamac , evolution,etc. did not sync up with the theme . I googled about it and I came to know that plasma 5.20 dropped support for changing themes.
Plasma doesnt touch the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file anymore.
I will leave here mine so you can use it to create or edit your own:
gtk-cursor-theme-size=32
gtk-enable-animations=0
# File created by KDE Gtk Config # This is a lie now ;-)
# Configs for GTK2 programs
gtk-font-name="Noto Sans, 10"
gtk-theme-name="Breath-Dark"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Papirus-Adapta-Nokto-Maia"
gtk-fallback-icon-theme="breeze-dark"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="volantes_light_cursors"
gtk-toolbar-style=3
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
(this may or may not apply to your other examples … but its the fix for gtk2 theming, like gcolor2)
is there a way to update the highlight colors to match the kde apps? i have tried systm settings-> app style -> configure gnome/gtk app style -> and it updates the window settings but not the highlight colors.
pretty much all gtk apps (mozilla, etc…) still highlight in green and different than kde.
If its gtk3 it should pick up your system colors fine
(System Settings > Appearance > Colors)
For gtk2 it will be tied to your gtk theme … see the post right above yours.
Is there a way I can change the icons in a GTK application outside of the application?
My specific problem is that I changed GTK theme to a dark one, and now some icons that are “dark” themselves in cherrytree (a gtk app) just aren’t visible.
EDIT: For what is worth, for my specific problem work is in progress so the question is only: can gtk app icons change system wide (with kde de) ?
