gtk-chtheme overwhelms gnome-theme-manager

I just used gtk-chtheme in icewm and when I returned on gnome, I had the gtk theme instead of the one of gnome. So I tried putting the theme I wanted with gnome-theme-manager : Ocean Dream. But then, just a part of the theme would load, I had to find a theme that fits well with Ocean Dream on gtk-chtheme.

Gtk-chtheme has made some sort of shortcircuit on gnome themes. :S

Help!

Okay. I removed the folders starting by .gtk except .gtk-gnutella and then I was able to load the theme I wanted on GNOME. But on icewm, I couldn't have a good theme without gtk-chtheme. Well I don't know how if I can.

Run gnome-control-center in the terminal from icewm and click the theme button. You can change your themes from there. Of course they will change in GNOME as well though.

It still doesn't work. I switch back to GNOME and it still takes the theme I've chosen in gtk-chtheme instead of the one with gnome-control-center.

Re: gtk-chtheme overwhelms gnome-theme-manager

gtk-chtheme writes out ~/.gtkrc-2.0, this is what sets the theme in icewm, and it's also the one setting the theme in gnome.

maybe just use gtk-chtheme in gnome?

or, run gnome-settings-daemon in icewm, and use the gnome-theme-preferences in icewm..

Maybe. [ˈmaɪbeɪ] (It's how it's pronounced in Australia huh?)

I'll probably use gtk-chtheme in gnome .
