Hi,

After having spent some time with a colleague who knows Suse, and
reading the list and the forum, here is my findings:

1 - All the parameters of Lazarus are set in Gnome control-center.

2 - GTK-1 is not used any more. Suse 9.3 and above use GTK-2.  On Suse
the control center for the GTK-2 is the module "control-center-2" this
is different to the old control center module "control-center" for
GTK-1. Normally you run the program "gnomecc" (for GTK-1) but another
program called "theme-selector-capplet" can not be found...  In short:
Suse does not support GTK-1 any more! There is no tool to change the
settings for GTK-1.
  
2-The problem is known see:

Thanks

One thing I can say is that Mandriva has one of the best preinstalled GTK1.x 
theme. Never had trouble with this. The GTK1.x theme that comes with Suse 
looks a bit oldfashioned... thats normal...
When changing the theme, make sure that the changes are correctly written to 
~/.gtkrc. Perhaps there is another gtkrc that overwrites the systemwide theme 
for lazarus. Check ~/.lazarus directory or lazarus path.
