GTK Apps under Trinity
Was just wondering... is there a way to improve the UI of GTK Apps under Trinity?
FileZilla for example looks really clunky and even though there are 'themes' for it still looks like some GTK1 app?
If noticed the same on some sub dialogues of programs like Seamonkey - the main theme is fine but things like
'save as' dialogues look like they belong to a different app?
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Re: GTK Apps under Trinity
Thanks - that's already installed though? How to select themes in the list?

Re: GTK Apps under Trinity
Out of interest I found a theme for FileZilla called Faezna which is a lot nicer than some of the stock themes

Re: GTK Apps under Trinity
What list ?
Using Synaptic it gives you a description "gtk2-engines" package.
---
This package contains the "engines" that hide behind the themes for
GTK+ and GNOME applications. They redefine the way GTK+ widgets are
drawn. The package includes the following engines:
* Clearlooks, the default GNOME theme, based on Bluecurve;
* Crux, formerly known as the Eazel engine;
* High contrast, which is used by some accessibility themes;
* Industrial, the famous engine from Novell (formerly Ximian);
* LighthouseBlue, another engine based on Bluecurve;
* Metal, which gives a metallic look;
* Mist, a flat and high performance engine;
* Redmond95, which provides a look similar to that of Windows;
* ThinIce.
A few sample themes using these engines are also included.

I recognise the names. How to select from the samples?

Re: GTK Apps under Trinity
First, you need to install the "gtk-qt-engine-trinity" package.
Control panel > Appearance & themes > GTK styles and fonts ..

Re: GTK Apps under Trinity
You may also need to edit "$HOME/.gtkrc-q4os" and set a theme, font, iconset, etc... manually.
