In gnome, you can change the look and feel by using the gnome-appearance-properties. However, if you want to do the same outside gnome, the options are editing gtkrc-2.0 file manually or to use a gtk theme switcher. LXAppearance used to be one of these tools. However, now it becomes one of the most feature-rich complete solutions for a Gnome-free environment.
Let's see some screenshots:
Later, LXAppearance2 will replace LXAppearance and move to lxappearance git repository.
Main features of LXApppearance2:
1. Depends on gtk+ only. Can work completely without gnome.
2. Friendly and Gnome HIG compliant user interface
3. Provides real-time preview of the selected themes
4. Changes icon theme
5. Changes cursor theme in a almost desktop independent way.
6. Supports color schemes. You can change the color used by themes if the themes support gtk color scheme.
7. Able to install/remove icon and cursor themes in a user-friendly way
8. Provides additional options for gtk toolbars
9. Able to turn off event sound provided by libcanberra-gtk-module.
10. Changes default font used by gtk+ applications
11. Although this is a LXDE component, it works perfectly well outside LXDE and it has no LXDE dependencies.
To get the latest source code in development:
git clone git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/lxappearance2
(This repo will become invalid once the code is moved to master branch of the original lxappearance repo.)

Please get it heavily tested and give some feedbacks. Patches is also welcomed.

nice. I use lxappearance currently with i3 and musca. Will install lxappearance2 and see how it goes.

This looks like a wonderful evolution on lxappearance, thanks for posting PCMan.
Seems there is already an AUR package available too: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39339

Happily using lxappearence, and I bet V2.0 will be even better!

I was hoping for some option to adjust font aliasing/hinting/rgb.
Looks good though

1) "git" should be added in deps.
2) (lxappearance2:5174): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_regex_match_full: assertion `regex != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault
Anyway it seems (from screenshots) to be really great. tnx

Please notify the maintainer of the package for any errors/omissions in the PKGBUILD. He/She might not even look at this thread.

This is awesome
However, I did packer -S lxappearance2-git
and it built successfully!
I can start it as root with no issues...
but trying to start lxappearance2 as user gives segfault!?
any ideas why?
thx and great work!
Offline
segfaults should generally be reported upstream. When you say start as user, do you mean that starting it as root works?

Hi all,
I created the http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39339 package. I just wanted to try the git version. I request someone with more knowledge about the package and the upstream, to adopt it. I have orphaned the package.

yes, starting it as root no problems
starting it as normal user it says segfault and wont open...
this is what it says...

That is a cool application, PCMan, I will check it out for sure, since I'm using lxappearance already. I also highly appreciate your efforts on pcmanfm(2)

Now we've got support for Openbox integration as an optional plugin.

Wow. This app is awesome. Kudos PCMan.

The code is now moved back to lxappearance git repo rather than lxappearance2.

I changed the lxappearance2-git AUR package git repo url from git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/lxappearance2 to git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/lxappearance . I do not know how to change the pkg name in AUR while retaining the comments.
