Some apps are using a different theme than set in Settings-Appearance

Hi,

Some apps are using a different theme than the one I've set in Settings-Appearance
I'm using icons' theme Tango, but some apps (like Gthumb) display High Contrast.

I'm one Debian 8 Jessie 3.16.36
XFCE 4.10

How can I put this right?

Hello and welcome.

Are you referring to the application icon or the icons within the application itself?
Can you post some screenshots?

I'm referring to the icons within the application itself.

As you can see in the screenshot, Thunar is displaying the correct Tango icons (folders with blue color, etc), while Gthumb is not (folders with color black, etc).

I don't know it that matters, but in this system I'm using the portuguese language (PT).
I'm just mentioning this because I've noticed that in Settings-Appearance, the theme "HighContrast" is named "Alto Contraste" in the Styles tab (translated name; and there is no "HighContrast" theme"), while in the Icons tab is named "HighContrast" (it's original name, untranslated; and there is no "Alto Contraste" theme); so, maybe one variable could be lost in some config.

The app does that - its a GTK3 theme thing where they are going with symbolic icons in their apps. You can override this by adding the following snippet into ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

.sidebar .view {
   -gtk-icon-style: regular;
}
GtkPlacesSidebar.sidebar {
   -gtk-icon-style: regular;
}

Well, that partially worked as you can see in this screenshot:

By the way, I had to create the file, since I didn't have in my home folder.

I guess that besides sidebar, other things need configuration also, like menubar or something.
I've been googling but couldn't find the apropriate solution.

Can you please shed some more light in here?

Try this:

.horizontal {
   -gtk-icon-style: regular;
}

Thank you very much, it worked, it is now looking much better!

You can see below how it looks now.
There are only a few icons that remain unchanged and if eventually that could also be solved it would be just perfect, but as it is now I'm already very glad!

Those icons don't seem to be affected. Perhaps they're hard-coded.

Thank you, ToZ.
I'm going to contact the Gthumb dev team and see if they can help set this through.
