GTK theme is wrong

Hello! I'm an user of both Q4OS and XPQ4 and I'm having the following problem. I compiled the CinnXP theme, it's a GTK one, and I attempted to use it along Q4OS. Thing is... It's not working very well. Take a look at the attachment. Is there any way to fix it? Or this is one of those terminal bugs?

Re: GTK theme is wrong

If you're using GTK apps you can get a clash with Trinity.

First step is to install the GTK Styles and Fonst support:-
sudo apt-get install gtk-qt-engine-trinity gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity

Look in Control Centre>Appearance & Themes and you'll see GTK Styles and Fonts.
Configure to taste. I normally install clearlooks-phenix-theme as it matches Trinity's Plastik very well.

Second step in Control Centre>Appearance & Themes>Colours
Uncheck 'Apply colours to non-TDE applications.

This works fine for GTK2 and GTK3, hope it helps.

I did that but it didn't work. I "solved" the issue by using another similar theme, but the one I tried to use is still giving me problems. Maybe there's a gtk engine missing or something?

Re: GTK theme is wrong

It's a Cinnamon theme though it does seem to provide GTK components as well. Does it offer a better experience that XPQ4? The folder icons look better but I haven't tried using it.
