Bug ID: 375272 Summary: Use Xsettings instead of edititing the config files Product: kde-gtk-config Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: grave Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: manutort...@chakra-project.org Reporter: punx...@gmail.com CC: aleix...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- the current way of editing the gtk config files directly is not really useful since it breaks besides installed desktop environments and overwrites theme internal settings like fonts eg for GTK2: style"customelementfont"{ xthickness=0 ythickness=0 font_name="Sans 6"} widget_class"*GtkButton.GtkLabel"style"customelementfont" or for GTK3 button, button:backdrop{ font-weight:bold; font-size:0.8em;} when i now choose a font and a size in KCM gtk it will override both examples. the better way would be to run a simple xsettings client like all the other desktops do: https://github.com/derat/xsettingsd or https://github.com/KDE/xsettings-kde Also i give this a grave severity because as I said it breaks other desktops by overwriting their settings which makes it unusable on multiuser systems -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
