gtk-chtheme(1)
π gtk-chtheme β the glow-up your desktop deserved π
okay bestie, so this is gtk-chtheme(1), and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and no cap it is exactly the little program you want when your Gtk+ 2.0 theme situation is giving sad beige.
β¨ NAME β¨
gtk-chtheme β Gtk+ 2.0 theme preview and selection made slick. π¦
like... the name literally tells you everything. it's a theme changer. it's slick. periodt.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
gtk-chtheme
that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no arguments, no complicated nonsense. you just run it and the vibes begin. π
π DESCRIPTION π
as the name suggests (iykyk), this little program lets you change your Gtk+ 2.0 theme. π
the aim is to make theme preview and selection as slick as possible. not "fine", not "functional", slick. main character energy only.
the way it works is lowkey perfect: themes installed on the system are presented for selection, and previewed on the fly β so you're not committing to anything blind, you're seeing it live, in real time, no regrets. β¨
and a large variety of widgets provides a comprehensive demonstration, so you get the full picture of what your theme is actually doing, not just a cute little swatch. π«Ά
π BUGS π
okay so, full transparency bestie:
the .gtkrc-2.0 parser is somewhat shaky, but this shouldn't affect anyone. π
not me warning you about a shaky parser... but fr fr, it's fine, nobody's getting affected by this.
