This topic comes here from time to time..

Yeah, there are system-wide GTK themes, there's a user desktop-wide
(when you run GNOME), then you can have one per gtk+ application
(usually).

Unfortunately, there's no user-friendly program to create or edit such
file intuitively. Few docs only, the GTK+ ones, google won't help much
there unless you know what you're looking for and find few samples.

Attached is my gtkrc file - dark background, now I wish you good luck
and perseverance, it caused my headaches.


Regards,
