Description David Jones 2016-03-15 14:44:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

Changing the GTK+ theme in kcm-gtk doesn't completely apply the GTK theme. Instead, it's a (often unusuable) mix between the GTK theme and the KDE theme. 

Also, changing back to oxygen-gtk from another GTK theme doesn't seem to completely revert. Even after restarting the application.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.5.3

How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set GTK theme in Application Appearance.
2. Open GTK App, such as Eclipse or Thunderbird.
3.

Actual results:

Application doesn't fully use GTK theme.

Expected results:

Application should fully use GTK theme.

Additional info:

I've never come across this issue before in any other distro, so I'm a bit bewildered. Typically, the add-in allows you to set the theme for GTK+2 and GTk+3 separately, but not in RHEL 7. I'm guessing that the applications have elements from both GTK versions, and kcm-gtk is only setting the theme for GTK+3.
Comment 2 Jan Grulich 2020-01-09 13:13:28 UTC 
It is supposed to only set gtk2 theme by modifying gtkrc config file.
