= GTK1 Apps =<br />
If you sometimes use old GTK1 apps (like xmms), you probably know they don't look nice. This is because they use ugly default theme.<br />
To change it, you need to:<br />
# download and install some nice theme<br />
# change the theme<br />
<br />
Some nice themes are in [extra]. To install it:<br />
# pacman -S gtk-smooth-engine<br />
<br />
To change the theme you can use gtk-theme-switch:<br />
# pacman -S gtk-theme-switch<br />
<br />
then run it with 'switch' command. That's all. Isn't it better looking now? :)<br />
<br />
= GTK2 Apps =<br />
For GTK2 apps (e.g. Pidgin), methods to change theme include: <code>gtk-theme-switch2</code>, <code>gtk-chtheme</code> or <code>gtk2_prefs</code>. There is also <code>lxappearance</code>, a DE independent configuration tool from the LXDE project. It doesn't require any other parts of LXDE. So once you have made your mind do one of the following:<br />
<br />
# pacman -S gtk-theme-switch2<br />
<br />
# pacman -S gtk-chtheme<br />
<br />
# pacman -S gtk2_prefs<br />
<br />
# pacman -S lxappearance<br />
<br />
You probably would like to install some themes too. The popular ''Clearlooks'' theme is included within the <code>gtk-engines</code> package:<br />
# pacman -S gtk-engines<br />
<br />
Further themes can be installed with:<br />
# pacman -S gtk2-themes-collection<br />
<br />
Now run either <code>switch2</code> or <code>gtk-chtheme</code> or <code>gtk2_prefs</code>, depending on what you chose before and change the theme to your liking.<br />
<br />
If you want to change the icon theme of GTK2 Applications, then you have to modify or add in the file <code>~/.gtkrc-2.0</code> the following line (here the icon theme is set to Tango):<br />
<br />
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"<br />
...more gtk2 settings...<br />
<br />
= GTK with QT =<br />
If you have GTK and QT(KDE) applications on you desktop then you know their looks don't blend well. If you wish to make your GTK styles match your QT styles please read [[Uniform look for QT and GTK apps]].</div>Bluehappyhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Improve_GTK_Application_Looks&diff=71486Improve GTK Application Looks2009-07-03T00:12:03Z<p>Bluehappy: Undo revision 71483 by Bluehappy (Talk)</p>

有时你会用旧的GTK1应用程序(就像xmms), 你会知道它们看起来并不漂亮. 这是因为它们使用丑陋的默认主题.<br />
