LightHouse Puppy

#1 Post by TNTtrev »

Okie Dokie; let's get started!

I downloaded and installed Lighthouse Puppy. Looks great and works perfectly. The only problem I'm having is switching between the different themes that the "explorer" windows in addition to the default color scheme for apps like Mozilla are this weird kinda aqua-blue. Is there a way to change this to match the theme?

Sorry, it might be a little confusing, but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.

Welcome!

If your SeaMonkey looks like the picture below, that's its Modern theme.

As far as Lighthouse particular questions, it's a derivative Puppy version, forum help may be a little sparse because of many people not using it.

Yep. Start(Menu)>Xdesktop and look for Gtk-Themechooser or something similar. I don't use Lighthousepup, but I think it's based on 2.15CE so it should be MU-Gtk-themechooser you use. There will be lots of themes to choose from, but try and stick to the ones with 2 next to them (Gtk2 themes)

Hope that helps

It helped. Except I have one small problem. The link to the original program is broken. It says it can't find it. I still have all the themes 'cause I found those. But the themes do me no good if I can't run the GTK Theme Manager lol.

Is there a special directory I need to look in? 'Cause I've looked everywhere and I can't find the original program. Do I need to re-download it?

Try
/usr/share/applications/GTK-theme.desktop
/usr/share/applications/MU-Gtk-Themechooser.desktop
