I'm on Kubuntu 11.10, Oneiric, KDE 4.8.00: none other theme but oxygen-gtk respect the KDE's font customization (I want DejaVu Sans Mono 14).

As to the oxygen-gtk - it does respect the font customization - but all gtk menus are broken - one can only access the default tab of the menu. Here are some screenshots: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71433/some-gnome-lib-is-missing

When I replace this:

Code: Select all

    engine "oxygen-gtk"

by that:

Code: Select all

    engine "oxygen-gtk"
    {
      colorize_scrollbar = TRUE
      reliefstyle = 1
      menubarstyle = 2
      toolbarstyle = 0
      animation = FALSE
      radius = 3.0
      style = GUMMY

      # Set a hint to disable backward compatibility fallbacks.
      hint = "use-hints"
    }

in gtkrc:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Menus start to work, font customization is still fulfilled. But the theme becomes kind of raw - it is certainly not oxygen theme any more.

Also I can't make gtk3 respect KDE's font settings (at least using the oxygen-gtk theme).

Any comments to all this?

As far as I am aware, Gtk2 and Gtk3 require differently written themes to work due to differences in them. They also have seperate configuration files.

I have never seen this behaviour before with the Oxygen-Gtk theme (and I use it here with Firefox, and it works fine with both Menus and Tabs)

Firefox is not a valid test here. Try installing Shutter - and try browes tabs of it's preferences.

gtk2 and gtk3 need separate configurations

Well, yes - but if I've said to KDE use my KDE font preferences in gtk apps - both KDE should have made gtk2 and gtk3 configurational files - while currently it is only making gtk2 one.

It is possible that your system does not have the Gtk3 Oxygen theme installed.

I just tested using both Wireshark and Transmission (Gtk version) and the tabs in Transmission worked fine.

Thanks for the reply. Transmission is a valid test.

I just checked - I do have gtk3-engines-oxygen installed. Though - no gtk3 dot files in my home dir. Do You have anything like ~/.gtk3rc or ~/.gtkrc-3.0-kde4?

I only have a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file - which I manually created. I do not believe I have any Gtk3 applications on my system at the moment.

I saved this from somewhere

gtk3-engines-oxygen for gtk3 apps

After installing it (gtk3-engines-oxygen), make gtk-3.0 folder in ~/.config folder. Then in gtk-3.0 folder create text file settings.ini with following contents:

Code:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = oxygen-gtk

After doing these simple steps, gtk3-engines-oxygen should be up and running Gtk3 apps should be oxygen themed like all other apps.

Is gtk3-oxygen part of the KDE distribution? If so, since which version?

I just installed Kubuntu 11.10 (KDE 4.7.4) and it does not have gtk3-oxygen. Trying to install as follows says the package cannot be located.

sudo apt-get install gtk3-engines-oxygen

Found it:

Code: Select all

toad@archtop 513\13 /etc > packer -Ss gtk3|grep oxygen
extra/oxygen-gtk3 1.0.1-1
aur/oxygen-gtk3-git 20110621-1 (84)

For Debian based distros:

Code: Select all

apt-cache search gtk3 | grep oxygen

You might have to put a -B1 at the end depending on your output.

Oxygen-Gtk3 is a very new addition, although it is not part of the main KDE software distribution.

Thanks, looks like KDE 4.8.1 that comes with Kubuntu 12.04 includes it. Fortunately, it's turned out that I don't need to rely on it.

Confirmed for opensuse 12.1, kde4.8. Thanks a lot!
