Description Vratislav Podzimek 2013-05-14 12:10:08 UTC
Description of problem:
The Initial Setup tool looks like a very old GUI tool when installed with the KDE environment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initial-setup-0.3.4-3.fc19

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install KDE environment from a Fedora 19 DVD or netinst
2. reboot to the Initial Setup after installation process
  
Actual results:
old look

Expected results:
fresh look

Additional info:
Installing adwaita-gtk3-theme package solves the issue.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2013-05-14 12:24:20 UTC
The problem likely is that gtk3 currently defines a default theme (adwaita-gtk3-theme), but has no dependency on it to ensure that it is present.

For what it's worth, we hack around the issue in the kde spin.  See:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-live-kde-base.ks

starting at line 35

But, beyond that, I'm not aware of anything we (kde-sig) can't do much about the missing theming if installing via other methods.


Some options include:
1.  let gtk3 handle it better somehow:
    a. gtk3 packaging add Requires: adwaita-gtk3-theme
    b. gtk3 use some better fallback theme when adwaita-gtk3-theme is not present
2.  initial setup handle it somehow:
    a. Requires: adwaita-gtk3-theme
    b. handle fallback theme itself somehow

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2013-05-14 13:12:29 UTC
initial-setup could check whether oxygen-gtk3 is available and adwaita-gtk3-theme is not and programmatically switch to oxygen-gtk3 in that case.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2013-05-14 13:44:06 UTC
If not, put adwaita-gtk3 as default in comps somewhere where it's pulled in no matter what desktop you pick (or in the kde-desktop group, but ugh…) and do -adwaita-gtk3-theme in the KDE kickstart where we have the hack to use oxygen-gtk3 instead. That doesn't need any coding or packaging changes, just comps and kickstart hackery.

Comment 5 Jaroslav Reznik 2013-06-06 09:02:53 UTC
Well, we really should do what Kevin says at least in comment #3.

So may I reassign this bug to the 'comps' component?

Comment 7 Martin Kolman 2014-04-17 09:16:57 UTC
Well, reassigning to comps as per comment 3 anyway.

Comment 8 Massimiliano 2014-04-21 23:50:07 UTC
I don't like very much the solution proposed in comment #3. In my KDE kickstart I've decided that oxygen-gtk3 is the default theme for gtk3, and it works perfectly. I don't like unnecessary things pulled in my system.

Comment 9 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 14:56:04 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 10 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-13 09:04:30 UTC
There's one possible solution - as Adwaita theme is pretty similar to Breeze theme (hey, flat design trendy again), GTK apps can stay with Adwaita instead of Oxygen.

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2015-03-13 11:54:56 UTC
for f22+, kde spin is using adwaita by default (and essentially retiring oxygen-gtk3, since gtk3 removed the theming api it uses)

Could you provide more info about this?

Thanks
