I am using Kubuntu 12.04 and QtCurve widget style which does not support GTK3:

How can apply a GNOME theme for GTK3 apps?

I found an advice here: installed gnome-themes-standard and gnome-themes-extras packages, created file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome

But this didn't help.

There's a great tool that let's you easily configure GTK2 and GTK3 themes on KDE:

GTK2 + GTK3 Configuration under KDE

Archlinux Debian

Go to the place where you downloaded your file and in a console type:

sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb

Where package name is the name of the package you downloaded

If it complains about a ependeny kdebase-runtime needed, simply install it by:

sudo apt-get install kdebase-runtime

On KDE System Settings - Applications Appearance you now have more 2 menus on the left tab, where you can choose GTK2 or GTK3 themes

  • Try removing that settings.ini file you have altered and then setting a new GTK3 theme
