Description gsbhasin84 2020-04-14 17:36:29 UTC
SUMMARY
Breeze GTK does not follow colors on gtk 2

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.Change your colorscheme in 'Colors' and apply the colorscheme.
2.Change your GTK theme to "Breeze" - you may need to install it, on Manjaro: `sudo pacman -S breeze-gtk`
3.Observe GTK3 applications using the new colorscheme (eg: AWF with gtk3)
4.Observe gtk2 apps NOT using the new colorscheme (eg: AWF with gtk2)


OBSERVED RESULT
gtk2 apps don't follow colorscheme with breeze gtk theme.

EXPECTED RESULT
gtk2 apps DO follow the colorscheme with breeze gtk theme.

Linux/KDE Plasma: kernel 5.5.16-1-MANJARO

Great, how do i use this patch? https://phabricator.kde.org/D24375
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-04-14 21:48:03 UTC
You wait for Plasma 5.19 when it will be released, or apply it yourself and compile a Plasma session from source, per https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development

This issue persists on Plasma 5.19 beta. :(
Affected gtk2 apps on my system:
gimp (if "System" theme is selected in Interface > Theme section of gimp settings)
leafpad text editor
pinta photo editor
HexChat
pidgin
artha
StarDict
WoeUSB

Which bug? The fact that GTK2 apps don't follow the color scheme? We found that it's basically unfixable due to the way GTK2 was designed. :(

These apps need to migrate to using a non-ancient toolkit.
