    Gtk Themes not changing with System Settings

    Hi, I installed oxygen-gtk on Kubuntu 12.04 64 Bit, however when I change the theme using System Settings, nothing happens. I tried again using gtk-chtheme and the theme changed successfully. I was wondering if there is a fix to changing the gtk appearance in system settings.

    The Oxygen-gtk appearance theme affects only GTK (Gnome) packages; it doesn't change the overall appearance of the Desktop (QT).
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Yeah, I'm aware of the expected result, however not even GTK applications are affected using kde-config-gtk. The GTK theme change worked when I downloaded gtk-chtheme, however I prefer a solution better integrated into KDE's System Settings.

        I'm on 13.10 so I cannot check if available for 12.10, but there is a kde version of gtk-chtheme that should resolve this issue (I know for sure it exists for 13.04/13.10). This package should be a dependency of kde-config-gtk-style, but I had to manually install it in 13.04 after installing kde-config-gtk.

        kde-config-gtk-style-preview
        Configuration dialog to adapt GTK+ applications appearance to your taste under KDE. Among its many features, it lets you:
        • Choose which theme is used for GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x applications.
        • Tweak some GTK+ applications behaviour.
        • Select what icon theme to use in GTK+ applications.
        • Select GTK+ applications default fonts.
        • Easily browse and install new GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x themes. . This package contains binary files for previewing Gtk themes and applying them without restarting of Gtk applications.


        I am pretty sure kde-gtk-config-style-preview replaces gtk-chheme (as the kde dedicated solution you seek), but they share the same depencies, so using gtk-chtheme would be your best option until the newer iteration reaches 12.10.

        Looking at the repo for your ver, I see kde-gtk-config-stlye, but not ..-..-..-..style-preview; so gtk-chtheme may be the only option available to you without backporting from a newer release.
