Re: [platform-dev] SWT-GTK theme support
|
The question remains how to get that running just for the SWT
application without having to change a system theme, or without
installing anything to the system or the user.

known to work on the "variants that aren't shipping GTK3 default
themes" would effectively defeat the purpose.
At this point, I don't see it happening, but if someone in the
community wants to try, more power to them. Personally, I think we'd
be better off convincing the distros themselves to move forward.

+1. Andrey Loskutov and Simeon Andreev are already doing something
similar, they don't like the aesthetics of the default GTK theme so they
basically maintain their own theme. Well they didn't write a theme from
scratch, but they have adopted the Clearlooks-Phenix theme and patch it
to work with SWT. It is for this reason that we have the environment
variable which allows clients to inject their own GTK theme CSS into SWT
at run-time.
