I'm not running xfce4 or gnome, so I can't use their respective settings manager.

Now I want to alter the GTK theme of all running apps, do you think that's possible? I think there's a signal or whatever can do that, but I couldn't find one.

Any ideas? It should works for both gtk2 and gtk3 apps.

    You can't change theme for running application, you should restart it.

  • @Eddy_Em hmm, but xfce4-settings-manager can do that, am I wrong?

  • Can xfce4 be reloaded? If it does, maybe I'm wrong.

  • In gtk2 there were some functions, capable of rereading .rc files with themes, but I don't know, how to invoke them: gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html#gtk-rc-reparse-all.

    @Eddy_Em: Gtk themes can be changed on the fly.

You might try gtk-theme-switch2. It's a command-line utility that will apply whichever theme you tell it to; it also comes with a GUI if necessary:
