System Settings/GNOME/GTK Application Style no longer working in 15.2

Trying to change GTK2 Theme in KDE Settings has no effect.

It only writes one line to ~/.gtkrc-2. e.g.

gtk-theme-name="oxygen-gtk"

It wrote much more under Leap 15.1 like


# File created by KDE Gtk Config
# Configs for GTK2 programs 

include "/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font" 
{
    font_name="Noto Sans Regular"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Noto Sans Regular 10"
gtk-theme-name="oxygen-gtk"
gtk-icon-theme-name="oxygen"
gtk-fallback-icon-theme="HighContrast"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="DMZ-White"
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0

When I copy this file over to 15.2, the correct theme is showing up on GTK2 Applications.
The main thing missing in this example is the line

 include "/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

Without this, the theme is not selected properly.

Thank you.

That’s possibly a KDE bug.

Are the Gtk configuration files located in ‘~/.config/’ being updated?


  ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini
  ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
  ~/.config/gtkrc
  ~/.config/gtkrc-2.0

Possibly this KDE Bug is related to this issue: <417534 – Empty ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file is created every time I login;

~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini > NO
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini > YES
~/.config/gtkrc > YES Empty
~/.config/gtkrc-2.0 > YES One Line

Not sure.

Thank you!

Thanks for reporting the bug. But sorry about that WONTFIX conclusion. It’s just life in technology, that things change.

At least you seem to have found a way to deal with it.
