In that case you need to set theme name with this command:gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme your-theme-nameChange "your-theme-name" with your theme name I had the same issue with Cinnamon 1.6 and VirtualBox which uses QT. Using the above command for my default GTK theme Adwaita did the trick.Thank you. orschiro https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=26237 2012-11-11T12:39:09Z (HowTos)

I applied the qtconfig suggestion. But now it looks even uglier.Screenshot: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8902804/Screenshots/Skype.pngDoes Skype look the same for you on Gnome with Adwaita?Regards

Hi,yesterday I wanted to change theme from KDust to Ghost AFAIR and after that KDE crashed. So I've rebooted PC, but the problem still was occuring. Fastest way - I've deleted .kde4 folder from my /home and unfortunately everything it's the same except that now I see default KDE theme instead of my old theme.

If you are boring with your current Gnome Theme, you should try this nice dark theme for Gnome. Its called Dark-Linux 0.6 theme. This theme is applied to any Linux distro as long as Gnome is used as default desktop manager. Want to try this Dark-Linux 0.6 on your Linux?

Hi, I kind of find a solution which basically consists in modify the gtk theme to change the "font color" to some "gray" instead of white and black so you can sure you are going to see it (at least some).I wrote a post in spanish, but you probably can get to the point anyway:http://www.glatelier.org/2012/08/tip-ar … y-firefox/Another good option is to use a different theme, I&#

I better will not try it as indicated by this bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26212

You're right. I found a new theme compatible with Gnome 3.6. I hope most if not all the themes get updated by their creators for 3.6. [SOLVED]

Um, virtualbox-guest-additions, yes...A quick "pacman -Qi virtualbox" indicates that it's Qt-based. Assuming you didn't install virtualbox-bin from the AUR (which is the Oracle-compiled version, only kept for comparison against the one in the official repos), it should follow whatever theme you chose.
