[SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

uname -a

[francesco@francescopc ~]$ sudo pacman -Qi xfce4-settings

Versione                  : 4.14.3-1

like title, xfce does not change GTK theme; no thunar, no panel has new appareance...

and no Transparent background for icon titles

~/.gtkrc-2.0

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 10
    base[NORMAL] = "#000000"
    base[SELECTED] = "#71B9FF"
    base[ACTIVE] = "#71B9FF"
    fg[NORMAL] = "#fcfcfc"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

The compositore is started.
I Restore default settings, but don't work!

when THunar runs as root, the theme is ok 

sudo thunar

Francesco,
with the information you posted, it looks like you are using XFCE 4.14. This uses GTK3 management for all applications.
GTK2 has been dropped.

The previous version, XFCE 4.12, used GTK 2. This made use of gtk.rc (or resource) files.

For version 4.14, you will need to download and use GTK3 themes instead of GTK2.

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

Hi Aravisian, the problem is present in any theme, gtk2 and gtk3.
the theme works only when thunar runs as root, and only for the themes in /usr/share/themes

Istantanea-2020-02-06-19-19-37.png

in the picture, thunar "root" on the right takes the current theme.

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

Do you have any content in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 or ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini that might be overwritting the selected theme?

Also, what does the following return:

xfconf-query -c xsettings -lv

Which Distro are you using?
Did you install the theme and if so, did you install it from terminal with Elevated Privileges?
Have you tried using chmod and moving the theme files to ~/.themes folder and restarting?

~/.gtkrc-2.0 is not present

No overwritting the selected them, i set Adapta
So for ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings I'd must have a  Zukitwo.
But i have no Adapta no Zukitwo

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

Rename settings.ini to settings.ini.BAK and relogin. You should be able to change themes then. You'll need to set any of the other settings that you want to keep in the xfce settings manager.

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

Can you post back:

whoami
ps -ef | grep xf

and try running the following command to change the theme:

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s Adwaita-dark

...to see if it changes the theme.

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

Francesco, when you login, there is the option to login on different desktops. Could you check to ensure your login did not change without you noticing?
For example, logging in on "'desktop' with Wayland."

My ~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc

# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# exec wmaker
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
# exec openbox-session
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
exec startxfce4

Those warnings are nothing to worry about, really. It merely is saying certain entries are being ignored because those features have been deprecated and are no longer being used. It is easy to fix by adjusting the .css file for the theme.
But they won't cause the theme to not work entirely.

When you change the theme from terminal, does it take effect on the user account and enable the theme in Thunar?

Can the group setting of users on ~/.themes be causing this? My ~/.themes is $USER:$USER

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

francesco, I am stumped. neutral
As long as the theme is located in your home folder under .themes, it should take priority over what appears across your environment. To have it backwards as is your situation, is a very Odd Occurrence.
Let's hope this thread attracts smarter members than me that can help resolve it. In the meantime, I will do some digging and searching and see if I can redeem myself, at all...

EDIT: Mr. Een was posting at the same time as I was and with a very good suggestion. See? Smarter people.

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

Well, for a quick test, this will change the contents to what my system has:

sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER ~/.themes

If that doesn't fix it and you want to revert the change, use this:

sudo chown -Rc $USER:users ~/.themes

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

If the above works, I'm suspecting there may be more permissions issues that may not have presented themselves yet. Running graphical applications with sudo can lots of issues like this (I assume that to be true of Arch as well) and other methods should be user to run them such as pkexec, gksudo if the distro still uses it, or appname admin:///path/to/file/to/open

This command changes everything in your home directory to your username/groupname that is usually what is desired:

sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER $HOME

I have zero experience with Arch, so ToZ (or others) may correct me on any of the above.

EDIT: And these commands should be run in a normal terminal window, not one where you're logged in as root.

first of all I want to say thank you to all of you.

Now,
sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER ~/.themes
             I have this error

chown: gruppo non valido: "francesco:francesco"

and i have the same error also with
sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER $HOME

                                                                                                                  If It coul be useful

 tat -c %A ~/.themes

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

I'm afraid this is beyond my level. On Mint, the default user name is also the default group name.

An Arch user will be able to assist with this I'm sure.

I'm afraid this is beyond my level. On Mint, the default user name is also the default group name.

$USER is a normal user o is a Root?


what should have done this command- 

sudo chown -Rc $USER:$USER ~/.themes

I try to fix it by reading the arch wiki

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

Interesting that you don't have a francesco group - it should be created by default when you create a new user in Arch. For example:

$ ls -l /home
total 12
drwx------ 77 toz toz 12288 Feb  8 18:37 toz
...
$ sudo useradd -m -s/bin/bash -G wheel test
...
$ ls -l /home
total 16
drwx------  2 tony tony  4096 Feb  9 16:08 test
drwx------ 77 toz  toz  12288 Feb  8 18:37 toz

Make sure that the themes you want to use have at least a gtk-3.0 folder with appropriate files. For example, what does the following return:

ls -l ~/.themes/Afterpiece

Googling for "AfterPiece" returns this link. If this is the theme you are using, please note that it is an openbox window manager theme - it won't work in Xfce.

I don't know how it is possible. Do I have to create a group "francesco" for user "francesco" like your "toz toz"?
Can i do it?

Re: [SOLVED] the gtk selected theme does not work

It's really strange that changing themes doesn't work on your system.

Can you create another user, log in as that user, copy over some themes and see if it works there?
