Of course, firefox, at least recent versions, has its own themes. AFAIK |
21 |
theming was built-in from firefox 3.6, and I've been using those. |
22 |
|
23 |
Meanwhile, instead of going the qt-curve or whatever route, here, I |
24 |
configure the colors in kde, and ensure that the checkbox is checked, to |
25 |
apply those to non-kde apps. That takes care of most of it, altho it does |
26 |
depend on how you launch the app whether the kde controlled theme is in |
27 |
the environment for the gtk app, or not. Launching from, say, konsole, |
28 |
doesn't seem to get it included by default, but if you put something like |
29 |
|
30 |
export GTK@_RC_FILES="/home/user/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0" |
31 |
|
32 |
(adjust the path as necessary) either in a wrapper script (as I do for |
33 |
pan, since I have a wrapper for it for other reasons), or in your .bashrc |
34 |
or the like, then it should work even when launching from konsole, etc. |
35 |
|
36 |
I think I hand-edited the file to get the font sizes, etc, but it has been |
37 |
awhile, so I don't know if kde or my hand edits are controlling it now... |
