Created attachment 123678 [details] Shot of gtk2 preview with theme applied. The gtk3 works fine SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move your gtk theme to ~/.local/share/themes 2. Open system settings to apply theme 3. OBSERVED RESULT Once the theme is applied check the previews The previews for gtk2 are not working as well as the actual gtk2 themes such as gimp and inkscape. EXPECTED RESULT Previews should work as well as the actual gtk 2 theme itself SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 Kernel Version: 5.3.8-arch1-1 OS Type: 64-bit ADDITIONAL INFORMATION These are themes I have made with the actual Breeze GTK script so there may be something wrong with that script. I have the theme engine gtk-engines installed
Does the gtk2 theme work on applications after applying, if it is moved to ~/.local/share/themes?
I think, that gtk2 theme does not work, because gtk2 does not support XDG standard, so all the gtk2 themes must go in ~/.themes directory, not the ~/.local/share/themes. Does the theme work if it is placed in ~/.themes directory?

The gtk2 themes do work if placed in the root directory as @Mikhail Zolotukhin has stated. Inkscape and gimp still do not work if themes are placed in the home directory.
New information was added with comment 4; changing status for inspection.
In KDE we are instructed to put gtk themes into the ~/local/share/themes dir and not the the ~themes dir so I guess for now we need to place into in the root.
Can someone provide a script to do the fix (i.e some a sh with `find` `mv`, etc) waiting for the Plasma fix ? For now it's not clear how to fix it manually. For example here on F31 I have the BSM themes in ~/.themes and they do not work (the preview yes but the few GTK2 apps I use, notably Lazarus and what is produced with it, don't apply them).

Open your terminal in the same folder as the themes you would like to move and do sudo mv or sudo cp-r with the name of theme theme after. mv for move cp for copy. The locations should be /usr/share/themes

Created attachment 125452 [details] attachment-10730-0.html You still have to apply the theme.This just moves or copies the themes to the root theme folder.

Yes I do that of course, i.e select in the configuration panel, but then GTK2 apps are still not themed. As I said I think this is another bug or regression, maybe even unrelated to Plasma. > On Sun, Jan 26, 2020 at 9:53 AM <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> wrote: > > > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413762 > > > > --- Comment #9 from b2.temp@gmx.com --- > > (In reply to Josh Freeno from comment #8) > > > (In reply to b2.temp from comment #7) > > > > Can someone provide a script to do the fix (i.e some a sh with `find` > > `mv`, > > > > etc) waiting for the Plasma fix ? > > > > > > > > For now it's not clear how to fix it manually.

The problem for me was that the file "~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4" was not updated after changing the theme in the setting panel. Maybe check if this was the problem for you too.
Is this still reproducible on Plasma 5.18?
Can you check again with Plasma 5.18 or 5.19? Thanks!
I'm sorry but unfortunately I'm stuck on 5.17 until the maintainer of the distrib decide to update. *Envoyé:* mardi 16 juin 2020 à 07:30 *De:* "Nate Graham" <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> *À:* b2.temp@gmx.com *Objet:* [systemsettings] [Bug 413762] GTK2 themes are not working at all and the previews aren't working either for only gtk2https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413762 Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REPORTED |NEEDSINFO CC| |nate@kde.org Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO --- Comment #14 from Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> --- Can you check again with Plasma 5.18 or 5.19?

I'm a Debian Stable user so I recently came this issue. I use QT-Curve-GTK2 and this is what I do to fix this issue. 1) Install "gtk-chtheme" from Debian based repos. 2) GTK-ChTheme allows us to preview and choose GTK2 themes. 3) Make sure to remove the GTK2 Folder/Theme from the Parent Directory where your currently used GTK3 resides. We need to remove this folder so it doesn't mess with our GTK2 apps because technically there are two GTK2 apps being used at the same time.
I meant "because technically there are two GTK2 Themes being used at the same time.
