Re: how to enable gtk3 theme

Slt ,
you must enter the following command: replacing xxxxxx with the name of the theme used.
(gtk : )

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme xxxxxx

(wm theme : )

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme xxxxxx

bye

Re: how to enable gtk3 theme

@juky, I don't see how that will work for Xfce.

@Faterover, if I understand correctly, make sure that the theme that you are using has both gtk2 (a gtk-2.0 folder) and gtk3 (a gtk-3.xx folder) components and that the theme supports the version of GTK3 that you have installed. Test with the Greybird theme - it will be most up to date.

Also ensure that you don't have any errant entries in ~/.gtkrc-2.0, ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css or ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini.

Re: how to enable gtk3 theme

Ok, I see. That is just the way that NeoFetch is reporting it our. I'm not sure why it does that. Perhaps you can ask their developers.

Re: how to enable gtk3 theme

the neofetch show the wrong info?but if i download themes  contain  gtk2 and gtk3 component  from xfce-look and place them  in .themes folder,xfce always treat them as  gtk2  themes， if i  delete the gtk2 folder of the  themes, they will  disappeared in the xfce4-appearance-settings list
