Where can I find the directory and files, related to the theme above, which I believe is part of KDE (but I am not to sure about that)?!

I'd like to make some changes, just like:

  • Integrating some, but not all applications (that use the current theme as shown in the screen shot) to my standard and preferred dark GTK theme.

  • Changing the highlight bar, button-prelight + pressed and scrollbar color.

  • Making some pictographic and/or code based changes, related to button and tab-shading, the scrollbar, roundness of single elements etc..

Applications, that use the same theme:

  • Synaptic Package Manager
  • Geany
  • Gimp
  • and others..

Any pointer in the right direction is highly appreciated! --thanks!


Edit: I already use gnome-tweak-tool, gconf & dconf editor, to customize and setup themes, fonts, icons etc. but in this case to no avail. I also know, where themes and icons are located on my system, but I can't figure it out for the theme in question. It is no Qt3/Qt4 Theme either!

Thank you for your answer so far.

You can try Ubuntu Tweak, which gives easy interface to tweak desktop and system configuration available under utils section in Precise.

Or you could use Dconf editor (install with sudo apt-get install dconf-tools). In Precise it's available under universe/libs section.

And you can find the themes and their configuration files in /usr/share/themes. There under the target theme directory, you can edit the configuration files (like the ones in gtk-2.0, gtk-3.0 directories) to suit your need.

  • Thank you for your answer rusty. The .gtkrc, .rc and .ini files mentioned in your provided link are worth taking a closer look of. I also added more information to my question. – v2r Mar 03 '14 at 09:28

    @v2r if you're looking to make theme changes to specific applications, maybe you'll have to edit/create app specific *.css or *.rc files in the target theme.. – rusty Mar 03 '14 at 11:00
