I'd like to ask exactly what files are used to define the theme and settings? I'm asking this because I'm running a gtk2 program in a jail, and want it to use the same QtCurve theme as the rest of the system. What files should I copy into the jail? I know at least .gtkrc-2.0, .gtkrc.mine, some files from .kde4? Anything else?

I have been using Qtcurve for years and I love it! thank you very much CraigD, as well as for Cantata. You are a true artist man!

Hi,

How can one resize the Window buttons?

I got it compiled. BTW it is not spam if you are trying to learn. Thanks for your help. And remember guys, I have asked on some forums and people always push misinformation on how to compile back to me. It works both ways. Take care, and have fun.

Yeah, They are working on getting this qtcurve rendering engine to compile up on the KDE4 . If you guys got code, hit us back on the apt-get repository. Have fun. I linked you in over here. LOL, Harvard. Do not forget that stackoverflow.com. That is the best I can do for you in here.

For everyone else with a minimum knowledge of linux (in particular, what a symlink is) and is wondering if you will see a compile error when compiling QtCurve, there isn't any qtcurve specific problem that anyone is working on related to this. The only problem is that cmake through an error if you are compiling in a path which contains a symlink to it's parent. If you have ever compile any cmake project before, you can ignore this.

And please don't spam stackoverflow with mis-leading questions.

Can you resize Window buttons?

I am not getting this qtcurve theme to compile up on cmake at all. I left a tag up on the github with CmakeError.log . Followed the readme down to a T. It is too long to dump in here, but that qtcurve for qt4 needs another look. Got all the compilers and dependencies up on my linux box. Here is the link guys :: https://github.com/QtCurve/qtcurve/issues/77

Now, I am not a wizard, even tried to compile as /root/. Any suggestions? Tried $cmake .. $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

Getting an error about sub-directories that the cmake.txt is not being found on building.

The width and type of the scrollbar buttons affects the height of the mimetype box in systemsettings' mimetype configuration. "No Buttons" causes box to become one single row so that it is very hard to scroll. Is there a workaround or even better fix? I love to have no scroll buttons but I also love to have a fully high mimetype box.

Hi,
I made a simple patch to make the widgets to look more 3D.
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/3D+border+patch+for+QtCurve?content=163054
Could you apply this kind of patch?
Any comment is welcome.

I no longe actively use, nor maintain, QtCurve. However, there is a project (on GitHub, or projects.kde.org) that is continuing QtCurve development. I suggest you send this patch there.

Hi. Would it be possible to implement etched menu separators, like in this screenshot?: http://media.askvg.com/articles/images/Cascade_Menus_Windows_7_Desktop_Con.png

Just one more quick request: Options for etched and shadowed text on menu bars would also be amazing. I very much appreciate the work you've put into this engine and the ability to have a uniform appearance between GTK and Qt apps, so thanks for that!

Hi, I have a problem, using qtcurve in kde 4.9, X server crash and reboot automaticaly, when I open or close applications in full screen, or other times to minimize or restore windows.
Chakra Linux.

Well, if X server crashes, it's not likely caused by QtCurve since it is never loaded by the X server process (on the other hand, it is totally different in Wayland and is why I am worrying a lot). Are you sure it is the X server rather than KWin that crashes? (And what do you mean by "reboot", since just X server crash won't cause a reboot AFAIK.) If it is really the X server that crashes, it sounds like a driver bug. Which driver are you using, have you tried another one? In either case, it will be helpful to get a backtrace from the process that crashes (you may need to start that process manually for use `sudo gdb -p` to attach to that process from tty before it crashes).

You can set gtk icon theme with kde-gtk-config or whatever tools to change gtk2 themes like gtk-theme-switch2 or gtk-chteme or editing the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 yourself.

For gtk-demo, you can double click the list on the left to open each single demo. (which I think is stated in the gui above that list)

I tried gtk-demo and:
Apps like gimp, inkscape, EasyTag have icons from oxygen (even if I'm changing symlink default.kde4 in /usr/share/icons)
Apps made with Qt (clementine, kid3-qt) look just fine and OK.
So... the problem are apps made for gtk2

SOLVED problem!
I had to remove /usr/share/icons/gnome folder.
I have created symlink to my Faenza and all works fine!

...caused by refreshing window, unintentional,
sorry!!!

Pls, help me to replace icon style for QtCurve.

Whatever I do, I everytime get gtk windows containing oxygen icons, and I want QtCurve to have my KFaenza icon set (or Faenza for gnome).
I tried lxappearance - with no effect (though ~/.gtkrc
contains my icon set).
Tried to edit /usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc also with no effect!
Am I to compile QtCurve with some changes?
I'm using KDE 4.8.5 on kubuntu 12.04

have you tried the "Use KDE icons" option?
