GTK3 theme in XFCE

Hi there,

in a fresh install of EOS with XFCE I changed the theme to my beloved Qogir. Neofetch says that the gtk2 theme is in fact Qogir whereas the gtk3 theme is Adwaita. Is there a way to change the gtk3 theme, or am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,

Christoph

How did you “change” it? :grinning:

I changed it via the “Apperance” → “Desktop” tab.

Does Qogir-win-light work?

Awaiting an answer too! It never seems to affect anything adversely (ie: I never see anything Adwaita) but my choices act the same. BTW - Qogir looks good, but I’ll stick with Ollifri’s Eye-Friendly-Dark-M-RBC for now (it’s darker) :smile:

Nope, same result in neofetch. But maybe I figured this one out. I read that this file

[csteinforth@EOS ~]$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini 
[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-name = Qogir-manjaro
gtk-theme-name = Qogir-manjaro-win-light

actually changes the gtk3 theme.

Me too. Never found something Adwaitaish…

This isn’t exactly a ‘fix’ - but it would mean not having to think about it anymore :grin: In ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf

# Enable/Disable gtk3 Theme / Icons / Font
#
# Default: 'on'
# Values:  'on', 'off'
# Flag:    --gtk3
#
# Example:
# on:  'Numix [GTK2], Adwaita [GTK3]'
# off: 'Numix [GTK2]'
gtk3="on"

turning gtk3=“off” would take it out of sight, out of mind…

This is all fixed in the newest version. Coming soon to a distro near you.

Let’s see what @SGS can do with this. :astonished:

Will EndeavourOS soon be offering this on the online installer? We even have the art work ready.

This seems to be one step closer to:
sudo make me a sandwich.

Hey i also faced the same issue just delete .config/gtk-2.0 and .config/gtk-3.0 and then do neofetch :slight_smile:
I know I am answering this after one year but this is the solution :sweat_smile:
