Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

Hi

I'ts definitely working for me, after I saved the settings in qtconfig. Today after a reboot, I just started skype normally (> command skype) and the Design was there.

In the Skype Settings I set "Desktopsettings".

Oh I also exported GTK2_RC_FILES in my .bash_profile:

.bash_profile:export GTK2_RC_FILES="/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

Run qtconfig and choose GTK+ as theme for qt applications, then skype will follow your gtk theme with no problem

nice one, it's working

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

It's not working for me. I'm doing export GTK2_RC_FILES="/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0" and have also set my style to Desktop Settings but it does not display my theme correctly. I tried setting a diferent theme in .gtkrc-2.0 but no luck.

It looks like a Windows application. In fact, it looks the same as it does when I chose "Windows" as the style.

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

Same problem here, i follow the hint of gnomeeye but nothing works....i remember that in the past i could select "GTK+ Style" in the style options of skype, but now it's disappeared ...

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

Here's how I fix/force it:

In ~/bin/skype:

#!/bin/bash

export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0-qt"

exec /usr/bin/skype

And in ~/.gtkrc-2.0-qt

gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0

style "font"
{
    font_name = "Arial 10"
}
widget_class "*" style "font"
gtk-font-name = "Arial 10"

I'm still using qt 4.7.4, so this isn't an issue caused by 4.8

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

Solved for me by latest update of lib32-qt (4.8.0-2 -> 4.8.1-1).

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

Yes, it seems to be working for me as well using the original solution. I'm marking this as solved again.

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

Where can i put

export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0-qt"

so that it gets exported automatically at startup? .xinitrc does not work since I am using lightdm with i3.

Adding exec export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0-qt" to my i3conf does not help, nor does exporting it from my bash_profile or bashrc.

If I enter it into a terminal and then run skype from that same terminal, it works. However, that isn't rly a practical solution. Thanks.

Re: [Solved] Skype doesn't follow my GTK theme

for me on 64bit  editing the window palate colour in qtconfig worked a treat ,  without any 32 bit libs ,good stuff.
