The most painful thing is the colors of > sylpheed-claws in particular are very poor now. for gtk 1.2 applications you want the gtk-theme-switch package this provides the program "switch" which allows you to change the gtk 1.2 theme and font from gtk 2 application my solution was to install gnome 2 version of gnome-contro-center package then use the gnome-font-properties, and gnome-theme-properties commands to change the theme of my gtk 2 apps. this method will start gnome-settings-daemon which will initialize some options for gnome and and may try to manage your root window on startup. finally for gtk 2 theme settings to take effect it seems that gnome-setting-daemon has to be running if there is a better way to change the themes for gtk 2 applications please tell me becuase i hate my method.
