Why emacs gets a better GTK theme on second installation

Hi,

I have openSuse 12.2 on two machines. On the first machine I installed a few months ago and later it upgraded to emacs 24. It looks like this:

But on new install where I upgraded soon after first login I get emacs 24 as:

Apart from font face and solarized theme (which is well configured in earlier screenshot), the next one better with nice toolbar, menus and scrollbars. I checked that on both machines I have GTK3 installed. I tried copying GTK rc files, but it didn’t help.

What should I do to make emacs on my original installation look better?

gtk3-metatheme-adwaita was installed?

When i installed gedit on KDE i got something similar to first image
But gedit looks like the second image on gnome 3.x

@nightwishfan I installed gtk3-metatheme-adwaita, deleted all gtk rc files in my home and logged out and in. But still my Emacs doesn’t look good. On the other hand all other GTK programs inherit the KDE’s gtk settings.

You may try the things that are specified here

I modified /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini with following values

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-icon-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome

It worked. Now I have to work to find out to reduce tool bar size.
