[solved] recently transmission-gtk switched to a strange widget theme

1 or 2 months ago after some arch update transmission-gtk decided to switch to a new theme look by its own that I have never before seen. It's pretty ugly and I want it gone.

I use KDE with oxygen theme and oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3. All of them are configured in the system settings () to have the oxygen look. But despite that transmission-qt has a different look.

Any fix?

transmision-qt wrong theme

Are you sure that screenshot is of transmission-qt? That looks like GTK to me.

You are absolutely right, it's transmission-gtk not qt. But even in this case, the problem remains. How do I change the look to oxygen-gtk2 or oxygen-gtk3? Why it uses this strange one?

(I'll change the titlte.)

oxygen theme is broken with gtk 3.16 and won't be fixed. You need to change to another theme.

I see... Also I just noticed that kde-gtk-config stopped working. I have it installed but it doesn't appear on settings->application appearance anymore.I have to find another way to change the GTK default theme.

I used lxappearance and changed my gtk theme to one that works now (qt). Thanks.
