gtk3 + xfce != love

Got some programs that depends on gtk3 (by the way i've read it's specifications & new features, i think it's better than gtk2)
The main problem is that gtk3 programs wont use my gtk2 theme.

Looking for the way to force gtk3 use my gtk2 theme..
Sorry for my probably bad eng

Re: gtk3 + xfce != love

That is not an Xfce problem, you just need a theme that provides both a gtk2 and gtk3 version.

Paste the gtk3 folder of your favourite gtk3 theme in your theme folder. Personally I have pasted the gtk3 folder of Zukitwo-Brave in Greybird folder, so my gtk2 applications use Greybird theme and gtk3 ones Zukitkwo-Brave theme.

Re: gtk3 + xfce != love

Well..
There are very few consistent themes between gtk and gtk3. sad
But... Just a few days ago Peter de Ridder anounce gtk-xfce-engine 2.99.0, whith support to gtk3. smile http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/201 … 29651.html

Personally I use oxygen-gtk (Yes.. is crazy. but like me!-) that is consistent between gtk2 and gtk3. smile

For better integration should compile from git (With OXYGEN_FORCE_KDE_ICONS_AND_FONTS = 0 To use the selected icons in xfce) and modify a single line of code. (So do not invert the order of the controls).

If you are interested I'll explain better..

Regards.

I also made a symlink to the gtk3 folder:   ~/.config/gtk-3.0  -> /usr/share/themes/themename/gtk-3.0/
