    Plasma 5 GTK theming

    I have seen back and forth between developers about oxygen-gtk not being maintained anymore for various reasons. The biggest two are Gnome devs depreciating the code it was built on, and Gnome breaking theme support with each new release. I assume this means no "breeze-gtk"? It seems setting all GTK apps to use the orion theme is the current solution. With breeze dark, you are just screwed. I have purified my software collection to pure QT except for gparted and Firefox, so it is not too bad. The biggest thorn is Firefox because I use it most of the day. Anyone have any more info on the subject?

    No more info than what you have. I'm currently using greybird-gtk-theme.

    There was an update to gtk3-engines-oxygen on March 28, but I haven't tried it again.

      I maintained my own gtk3 theme for a while (one that would match my qtcurve theme), but I abandoned it after a while because the gnome devs kept moving the goal posts (which was rather annoying)...so I eventually just purged all my installed gtk3 apps (the only one I was actively using was synaptic, so it wasn't really a big loss).

      There is a kde/qt partition manager in the repos ("partitionmanager"), which is very similar to gparted.

        I always stuck with gparted because the kde partition manager was always really buggy with greyed out options even though all the deps were installed. With 14.10 i get a kdesu error when trying to launch it. I guess it is just laziness, but I just removed it and installed gparted. I used to use qtparted, but it died due to lack of maintainers and morphed into kde partitionmanager. http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/index.en.html If the other web browsers would implement a decent download manager with support for resuming downloads, I would consider switching. Right now the only two things holding me back is that firefox is "open", and the downthemall exstintion. I have started using wget -c, but it is annoying because of all the extra steps involved. With firefox/downthemall it is two clicks to download anything you want.

          There are a few non-qt apps I just can't give up on (Gimp, Inkscape, Audacity) so I just have to curse Gnome under my breath and carry on.

            Well Gimp and Inkscape still use gtk2 which isn't such a moving target. I'll curse when Gimp goes gtk3 (I can live with karbon for the few svgs I tinker with)

              Dead things generally aren't.
