Bug ID: 421240
Summary: Create a way to set a variable for downstreams to
customize default GTK theme
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_style
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: er...@ericheickmeyer.com
CC: zom...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, barring using /etc/skel, there is no way to set the default GTK
theme for downstream Linux distributions. In my case, Ubuntu Studio, we use the
Materia theme by default. We wish to make it the default for GTK and Qt
applications, which I can do for Qt, but not for GTK.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Attempt to set default GTK theme via $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
and/or $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/.gtkrc-2.0
OBSERVED RESULT
Settings are completely ignored, defaults to Breeze theme.
EXPECTED RESULT
Settings default to theme set in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and/or
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/.gtkrc-2.0
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm the Ubuntu Studio lead, and, while not completely barring our transition to
KDE Plasma, this does create an issue for users that hit the "default" button
and it defaults to Breeze. Currently, I'm having to use /etc/skel to set the
default for new user accounts, which is far from ideal.
