[SOLVED] qtconfig unable to set GUI Style to GTK+

Hi there. I'm running Openbox 3.4.7.2-4 with qt 4.5.3-3 and gtk-rezlooks-engine 0.6-8.

When I run qtconfig and set the GUI style to GTK+, it gives the error QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine. This makes no sense because I don't even have the gtk-qt-engine package installed.

I read the post here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uni … #QGtkStyle and added

export GTK2_RC_FILES="`pwd`/.gtkrc-2.0"

to my .xinitrc with no luck.

You can see my .xinitrc at http://pastebin.org/54730

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] qtconfig unable to set GUI Style to GTK+

hello,
for me qtconfig only changes the appearance of smplayer.
the way i can change appearance of qt4 programs is this:

kcmshell4 style

i think you need to install the kdebase-workspace package from extra...you could probably uninstall the kdebase-workspace after setting the correct engine...though i have never uninstalled that...

It worked for me (I don't use QT4 anymore) with something like this. Can you try?

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

Re: [SOLVED] qtconfig unable to set GUI Style to GTK+

hmmm, Openbox here,
and this is how mine all looks

and here is my autostart.sh

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"

You can see VLC and Openoffcice behaving badly and behaving differently to each other.

qtconfig fails to help. I have tried all the tips I have found.

SOLVED my problem by removing trolltech.conf and reinstalling qt package. qtconfig works great now.
