Re: Gtkmm application style

[Bernd Robertz <bernd robertz cssweb de>]

Hello list again,

I come back to my question about themes.
Now I played around with some themes (there are really nice themes out there ;-) )
and everything works like the way I want.

But the themes I switched (with gtk-theme-switch2) are only aviable for the user
who switched it.
Is there a way to change the systemwide default theme to something I want?
Is there a systemwide gtkrc-file wich I could change to a theme for the entire system?
Just like for those who don't use Gnome and can't use a theme-manager or something
else.

I think that's the last question (until now ;-)) ) I have about themes.
Hope I described it correctly.

Thanks in advance

Bernd
