I did an upgrade after a long time and I am noticing this. Changing themes using lxappearance changes theme for thunar but not for nautilus.
Does gnome have the settings stored somewhere else?

I had a similar problem with gnome apps in kde. installing additional GNOME themes using pacman and specifying qtcurve as the default theme for both kde(system settings) and gnome (using lxappearance) solved the problem.

Installing more themes? What does that exactly mean? How will that help?

@shadyabhi - You need GTK3 themes.

I installed light-themes from AUR and selected Ambience in lxappearance. Thunar's appearance got changed but nothing happened to nautilus.

Read this

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Im … tion_Looks

Particularly the section about GTK2+

Try installing gnome-themes-standard and gnome-themes-extras using pacman if the wiki did not help.

Try this:

Or if that fails, then:

I had to create a file .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini with contents

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Ambiance
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
gtk-font-name = Lucida MAC 8

to get the thing working. Thanks
