The per-user settings are stored in $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0, the system-wide settings in /etc/gtkrc-2.0. To change them, simply append (or modify the entries).

I. change the theme (use folder-name as value):

[codesyntax lang="bash" lines="fancy" lines_start="0" container="none" tab_width="8"]

gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks"

[/codesyntax]

II. change the icon-theme:

[codesyntax lang="bash" lines="fancy" lines_start="0" container="none" tab_width="8"]

gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome"

[/codesyntax]

III. change the cursor (not all windowmanager support on-the-fly changing):

[codesyntax lang="bash" lines="fancy" lines_start="0" container="none" tab_width="8"]

gtk-cursor-theme-name="default"

[/codesyntax]

IV. change the font:

[codesyntax lang="bash" lines="fancy" lines_start="0" container="none" tab_width="8"]

gtk-font-name="Arial"

[/codesyntax]

Of course that’s not all. There are much more options, check the documentation. If you don’t want to manually do that, you may use applications like LXAppearance or GNOME-Color-Chooser.

Have Fun.

The german version of this article has been released on ProLinux.

(The upcoming Variant II will introduce the XSettingsD)

Well, I would say OR2 is the most complete icon-theme to date.

I’ve sampled all icons I like (mostly Oxygen) and made the package.

BTW: OR2 2.6.0 will add the script for modifying the theme on-the-fly.

NOTE: The release-tarball include 16×16 24×24 32×32 48×48 icons only. If you want other sizes too, download the GIT-repo, as it contains the 128×128 icons.
