[SOLVED] How to have QT applications with the GTK theme

Garret · 2010-09-19 07:26:21

When I had Gnome, selecting "GTK+" from QTconfig, QT applications (like Skype or VLC) were shown with the GTK theme chosen on Gnome Appareance.

Now I setted up a simple LXDE+Openbox system and doing the same stuff I don't have the GTK theme on QT applications:

Where am I wrong?

----------------------------------------

Another question: What package do I have to install to have the oxygen theme?
For oxygen I mean the default Kde4 theme like this:

And for oxygen, you need kdebase-workspace

I tried but without results :

I don't have the GTK-QT-Engine package installed. Now this is my .xinitrc

exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startlxde
export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"

and this is my .gtkrc-2.0

gtk-icon-theme-name = "gnome-noble"
gtk-theme-name = "Caramello"
gtk-font-name = "Droid Sans 13"

Infact when I open qtconfig I receive this error:

[garret@desktop ~]$ qtconfig
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

So what's wrong?

Ok... I can live without the oxygen theme...

Try with export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0" before exec.

export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"
exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startlxde
