No matter what I use, e.g. gtk-ctheme, and the other apps availible in the repos, gtk applications running under Awesome WM stay ugly.

The same apps look fine when I use unity.

Any thoughts?

    Did you try to start gnome-settings-daemon ?

  • @user49503 unfortunately it not only work with theme, but also screws down keyboard layout.

Try installing lxappearance

sudo apt-get install lxappearance

You can edit the gtk config files, like described here http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Customizing_GTK_Apps

lxappearance works fine too, but if you can't get it done with gtk-ctheme then it probably doesn't work for you either
