Hi David, As far as I can tell, while running Gnome 2, Gnome uses the .gtkrc-1.2-gnome file for all gnome 1.x settings. A workaround is to do the following:
cp .gtkrc .grkrc-1.2-gnome Then start up X normally. This will work as a one-time fix, but it sucks for a number of reasons, chief among them is the fact that Gnome 2 will overwrite your .gtkrc-1.2-gnome file with default theme information. I think it tries to match your gnome 2 theme to a gnome 1 theme and if it can't find it it will use the default theme. Try finding a matching gtk 1.x theme for your gtk 2 theme and installing it /usr/share/themes/(themename) directory with your gtk 2 theme. Then Gnome 2 will automatically use the correct gtk1.x theme (by writing to that .gtkrc-1.2-gnome file) I haven't tried this yet, but I think that's how it is supposed to work. Hmm other gtk1.x apps...I think grip is still 1.x Good luck, Nick On Sun, 2004-01-04 at 19:24, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > Currently running testing/unstable with GNOME 2.4 on x86. > > I want to get rid of the ugly fonts / select another theme for all GTK 1.x > apps like gnucash and xmms.
