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
