[SOLVED] how to set gnome apps apperance ?

[denisprMember]

Hello all,
simple-scan appears in light theme.
I would like to set a dark theme for it and other gnome apps like epiphany-browser,
Is there a way to do it without having to install all the gnome stuff ?
Thanks !

Hello denispr

You can use the antix package installer, CC => Sofware => on top “Installer Software”
and for Dark theme with simple-scan check the settings maybe ?

Hi perhaps it’s late to answer but i had the same problem with simple scan 46.
A solution i found on the web :
Copy the correct .desktop file associated to gThumb, simple-scan or file-roller from
/usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications.
Open the copied .desktop file using a text editor (mousepad…).
Look for the Exec= line. Add env GTK_THEME=<Theme-Name>:<Theme-variant> just after Exec=
so that it now looks like
Exec=env GTK_THEME=<Theme-Name>:<Theme-variant> simple-scan %U
for example
Exec=env GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark simple-scan %U
Save the .desktop file.

Thank Steve and Xunzi_23 for your answers that put me in the right direction.
Creating .icewm/env containing the following line
GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark
solved the problem !
