[SOLVED] XFCE - Button theme?
I love XFCE because of how quick and lightweight it is, but some things stand out about it. For certain (usually GNOME) applications, I lack a button theme.
See: http://i.imgur.com/XlKV285.png
I'd like these applications to have either their own button theme or to copy that used by the rest of my system.

Is there a way to do this, or is this just a fact of life in XFCE?

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE - Button theme?
My guess about your issue: It is because some applications use gtk2 and some use gtk3. You need to theme gtk3 too. Some themes come with matching gtk2/gtk3 themes. Hopefully you can figure it out from there. Read more about gtk on the wiki:

Do you know a place to get gtk3 themes? Is there a gtk3 theme that you personally prefer?

There are a lot of them in the aur. My person favorite is called "dorian-theme" in the aur.
Edit: Look here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0 … _Search=Go and here: http://gnome-look.org/
Edit2: Sometimes you can find some on deviantart too

gnome-themes-standard Contains Adwaita, Gnome's default Gtk2/3 theme.
Greybird by The Shimmer Project is the default Xfce and Gtk2/3 theme of Ubuntu's Xfce spin Xubuntu. You can find it in the AUR(xfce-theme-greybird)

Resolved. Needs to have GTK3 compatibility. dorian-theme works very nicely.
