gtk functionality in enlightenment

Hello all, brand new arch user here.

I've come from a Debian background, and have done a lot of work over the past few days in turning my new arch install into a productive system. I have however, run in to an issue that I've been unable to solve on my own.

Right now I am using xfce4 and e16/17 as my primary X environments. My problem is this: how do I get the gtk settings established in xfce (fonts, themes, etc) to carry over into window managers like E when I run gtk apps within them? I installed the gnome-settings-daemon pkg, and added it to the startup daemons in rc.conf, but that does not seem to have worked. By what manner can I carry over this gtk functionality into wm environments like E?

Re: gtk functionality in enlightenment

Welcome to the forums Thunar.

I'm running E17 and all of the GTK2 settings (theme, icon sixe, icon theme, and font) for my setup are in ~/.gtkrc-2.0. It looks like this:

gtk-theme-name = "Smooth-japan-flat"
gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=16,16:panel=16,16:gtk-menu=16,16\
:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:gtk-button=16,16"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Gnome"
style "user-font"
{
    font_name="DejaVu Sans 9"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

That seems to have mostly done the trick, thanks a bunch, skottish. Firefox however is still stubbornly refusing to obey, defaulting to the ugly-mode.

The icon theme, fonts, or everything else?
