Hi,

I'm desperately try to change the button order of the kde widgets (yeah, you might say, that isn't important, but well, it's a hassle when migrating to kde from gnome), and I'm almost done, only one single detail doesn't work. What I have done so far is changing the breeze theme to use `gtkButtonOrder=true` and changed `gtk-alternative-button-order` from `1` to `0` (the vanilla gnome gtk setting I'm used to) in `~/.config/gtkrc-2.0`. Unfortunately the latter doesn't persist and the file is overriden everytime I restart KDE (the comment in the file doesn't work, it only inhibits the color overrides). Also, I don't get where the environment variable `GTK2_RC_FILES` is set to add another file to this env variable. Can anybody help and tell me, if and how I can tell KDE to not override my `~/.config/gtkrc-2.0` or where the env variable is set? Thanks

Okay, I managed to solve a part of the problem, by simply write-protect the file `~/.config/gtkrc-2.0`, but unfortunately this only works for Qt4 applications like dolphin, whereas kate still shows the "wrong" button order. It seems like the settings `gtkButtonsOrder=true` setting in `/usr/share/QtCurve/Breeze.qtcurve` doesn't have any influence on Qt5 apps. Is this correct behaviour, because perhaps this setting is deprecated or is it a bug and I can add it to a bug tracker. Unfortunately I couldn't neither find a docu of the theme options nor a dedicated bug tracker. Can someone help me? Thanks

P.S. perhaps this post should be moved to the correct forum

You should first figure whether Qt5 clients use QtCurve at all and not Breeze or even the Fusion style.
QtCurve should have a setting for this (and the QtCurve config GUI should do) but neither Breeze nor Fusion have.

To figure the style of a Qt5 application:

Code: Select all

strace kwrite 2>&1 | grep open | grep styles


third party style plugins (like QtCurve or Breeze) should show up 2 times trailing the output.
