Possible to have certain apps use certain GTK theme??
Hey guys I'm wondering if I can have certain apps use either a specific GTK theme (different from system-wide one in use) or none at all, much like OpenOffice does for me right now (I use a dark theme but it retains a light grey, I'm assuming default theme with Gnome).
Any help appreciated, TIA

I don't believe OpenOffice uses GTK+, it just tries to imitate it, and as you've found out it also fails sometimes.

I wrote a little script which does "export GTK2_RC_FILES=/path/to/openoffice.gtkrc" before opening OpenOffice. I use a GTK theme that make apps like Eclipse and OpenOffice look horrible. So I use a different gtkrc for them.
I'm pretty sure exporting GTK2_RC_FILES will work with any GTK2 app.
