[SOLVED]Ugly firefox again (cannot force FF to use gtk theme)

vlearner · 2009-04-20 12:58:48

For some reasons, my firefox is pretty ugly with default theme and I cannot force it to use gtk theme for scroll bar and other components ...
yeah, kinda hard to understand what i meant :/. here is the screenshot (take a look closer on the right scroll bar)

i wonder if we have anyway to force firefox use gtk like with Openoffice??
thanks a lot:)

Firefox's default theme should conincide with whatever GTK theme you are using. If it isn't, do you have your gtkrc in a wierd place?

i tried to change to other gtk themes but it doesnt affect firefox, I m using MurrinaChrome now
in my $HOME i have .gtkrc-2.0, i dont have .gtkrc.mine

You're running firefox from the root account? Why are you doing that? :?: You shouldn't need sudo to run firefox. Have you set up a user account?

yeah, i do, but i think i installed ff in root before i created user acc :|

... That doesn't matter. If you really don't want to set up firefox again, copy /root/.mozilla /user/<username>/.mozilla, making sure to change the permissions.
