To set the GTK-2 theme, edit the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0, and add lines like: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
gtk-theme-name = "Raleigh" |
| 29 |
gtk-icon-theme-name = "hicolor" |
| 30 |
gtk-cursor-theme-name = "" |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The default (when Adwaita is not installed) for gtk-theme-name and |
| 33 |
gtk-icon-theme-name are "Raleigh" and "hicolor", respectively. There is |
| 34 |
no default for gtk-cursor-theme-name (which causes the built-in cursors |
| 35 |
in the Xorg server to be used as the ultimate fallbacks). If you wish |
| 36 |
to set the default for all users, instead edit the file |
| 37 |
/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. Note that this only applies to GTK-2 applications, |
| 38 |
GTK-3 uses different configuration. |
