Change gtk theme in Gentoo even if not using Gnome

Do your friends make fun of you because their “gtk apps look better” ? How many times have you heard about that damn “clearlooks theme“. Time for revenge then!

Just emerge gtk-theme-switch and run switch2 on the command line. Select your favorite theme…restart your gtk apps…and enjoy! Now can have that damn “clearlooks theme” too. 🙂

After you’ve finished you can emerge -C gtk-theme-switch

Btw, if you are looking for some nice fluxbox themes have a look at boxwhore

    Hi – thanks for the post. I was searching around for gtk themes and I also use fluxbox, but the boxwhore link you posted is dead now…
