Hi, when I was running Xfce, all Gtk applications looked pretty good.
Now I'm taking the lightweight road (just fusion-icon and tint in the ~/.xinitrc ) and all my gtk applications look more ugly. (iirc I selected a non-default skin in the Xfce configuration when still running Xfce, but what I see now is uglier then the default in Xfce I think)
What's this? I don't know much about gtk, theming etc. Is it reasonable easy to get goot looking gtk applications when not running a gtk DE ?

I recommend using Lxappearance works well.

Thanks, that did it indeed. It suprises me though, that the gtk theme is so dependent on a DE running or not. I was assuming gtk theme configuration was independent from that.

You can add this to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 instead of installing those theme switchers (or /usr/share/themes if applicable):
include "/home/<user>/.themes/<Theme>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
