I don't have Gnome or Xfce installed. GTK2-theme switch is installed,

reveals nothing similar to GTK2-theme-switcher.

Any ideas?




Create a file called ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (just for yourself)
or /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (for all users) and add the following line:

    gtk-icon-theme-name="Industrial"

to use the Industrial icon theme, for example. Any GTK2 icon theme
installed into /usr/share/icons will do. A lot of GTK2 properties can be
set statically in this way. See

    http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkSettings.html

for details.


I actually have that file in my home dierctory, and it reads as follows:

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/home/nick/.themes/Clearlooks_Cairo-Breathe/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
 font_name="Verdana 10"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

include "/home/nick/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
The Clearlooks theme works fine, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to have Clearlook use my Nue icons which are located in ~./icons. Any suggestions?
