Re: themes ?

[Kevin Miller <sar hempseed com>]

There are a few ways to do it..
First you need to know where the themes were installed to, probably will
be in /usr/local/share/gtk/themes and will have 4 directories in it..
win95, motif, metal, and pixmap.

In the /usr/local/share, there will be a file gtkrc, either rename that
file to gtkrc.old (or anything else) and make a symlink to one of the
gtkrc's in the themes directories, like:

ln -s /usr/local/share/gtk/themes/pixmap/gtkrc /usr/local/share/gtkrc

of course, depending on if you are in /usr/local/share would shorten the
paths...

or you could create a blank file named gtkrc in the /usr/local/share with:

include "/usr/local/share/gtk/themes/pixmap/gtkrc"

as the only line, and third, you could just add that line to the top of
the existing gtkrc.

This may be in the FAQ, I can't recall if it is or not...
