I applied some theme just after installing Ubuntu MATE 16.04. Now the software updater doesn’t show up when called from the menu. This is what it say in the terminal : (update-manager:5977): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:27:35: Junk at end of value (update-manager:5977): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:40:48: Junk at end of value … Read more
On a new 17.04 Ubuntu system, with python and python-matplotlib, I wanted to plot using the Matplotlib GTKAgg or GTKCairo backends. This works nicely in 16.04, but is broken in 17.04, as a result of the following: >>> import matplotlib.backends._backend_gdk ImportError: No module named _backend_gdk But the same command works perfectly in 16.04. Consequently import … Read more
I use the Breeze Dark theme on Kubuntu, which also works perfectly with GTK+2 applications, but it’s not fully supported on GTK+3 applications like Firefox yet. Because of that, I’ve set my system to use Breeze Dark for GTK+2 programs, and the light Breeze for GTK+3 programs. However, the KDE settings window (GNOME Application Style) … Read more
On my Ubuntu 13.04 machine suddenly all GTK2 applications (like Firefox, LibreOffice etc.) are not themed anymore (I am using Ubuntu’s Standard theme). Instead, they are shown with this ugly old default theme. I didn’t do anything that could have caused that behaviour, as far as I know. Does anybody know what to do? UPDATE: … Read more
As mentioned in an OMG! Ubuntu! post, menus and toolbars of GTK3 apps are fixed in Ubuntu themes. But there’s still an inconsistency in Ubuntu theming between GTK2 and GTK3 menus where GTK2 apps don’t follow theme colors for menus. I know this is possible in GTK2 as well by editing gtkrc file and setting … Read more

So I’m tyring to install this DDS plug in for gimp. I’ve done it before, but on this fresh install of Ubuntu I’m failing. I extract the archive, then type make. This results in: joel@Zetes:~/gimp-dds-3.0.1$ make Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc’ to … Read more
I use Lubuntu 12.04 and a gtk2 theme, Elegant Arch. With such a theme, gtk2 applications like Thunar will be themed, while others like Nautilus, would be not (see this question ant the images there). Because I wanted to theme gtk3 applications like Nautilus, Audacious etc., I have copied the “gtk-3” folder from the main … Read more
I have been looking for a way to theme the Pidgin conversation window to match my Ubuntu (12.10) theme. I have tracked it down to the gtkrc-2.0 (gtkrc-3.0?) file and now know that if a customized file is placed in the .purple directory, the default theme will be overridden. This would work IF I could … Read more
