Hi,
with 3.6 update you can select adwaita and ''choose darker applications theme" in gnome-tweak-tool, and it works for gtk3 applications. But, it isn't working for GTK2 and QT applications. In /usr/share/themes/Adwaita in gtk3 there is the gtk-dark.css....
But the adwaita dark for gtk2 (and consequently for QT) has to be written from scratch to match the new theme. Or there is something that i'm missing? Maybe a very similar theme that is really near to the new gtk3?
Thanks in advance

Hi there
Try installing gtk-chtheme, that app will allow you to set the theme for GTK2 programs
Best of Luck

Thanks, butIt's not working. I prefer indeed lxappearance (but it does the same); obtain the same result using qtconfig fro QT apps. So, GTK2 (and QT) theme are really needed!

It seems like Gnome 3.6 doesn't offer the dark theme for gtk2. I have the same problem. Tried some themes from gnome-look and deviantart, they don't look very good.

You could try this http://pastebin.com/Lv54kc75
I've managed to edit a gtkrc. It looks OK for me.

I had the same issue, but I solved it in the following way:
I have backed up the file gtk.css in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0 into gtk.css.back (in case something goes wrong);
I copied the file gtk-dark.css to gtk.css;
I backed up the file gtkrc in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0 into gtkrc.back (just in case);
I opened the file gtkrc and pasted a code similar to the one I include below. Notice that I changed the background color to match that of the dark adwaita gtk, though the previous one was very similar:
# Color scheme originally contributed by Franco Gotusso as Clearlooks-DarkOrange
# Based on Clearlooks-DarkCoffee by Chibi and edited by bvc as Clearlooks-DarkCoffee2

I based this solution on several posts and messages I found on the Internet on this topic. All credits go to them. Hope this helps.
