There is no GUI feature included in Inkscape.app which would offer to switch from the GTK+ theme included in the app bundle to a custom one installed elsewhere with a single click. Nor does Inkscape.app ship with an alternative dark theme included. Default gtkrc file (~/.gtkrc-2.0): ================================== Inkscape detects the presence of the default gtkrc file '~/.gtkrc-2.0' and will use it instead of the custom gtkrc file from the app bundle. Switching to a different GTK+ theme (to be used with the precompiled Mac OS X application bundle as well as other GTK+ apps installed on your system) can be achieved by these steps: 1) download your GTK+ theme of choice 2) install it into '~/.themes' 3) create '~/.gtkrc-2.0' and refer to your new theme (e.g. 'gtk-theme-name = "Darkilouche"') 4) restart Inkscape Note: You will have to take care of print preview (use Preview.app instead of evince), font family and size yourself, and will loose the custom 'Aqua style'-imitating scrollbars. Known limitations: Current Inkscape packages for Mac OS X only includes these gtk theme engines: - Clearlooks - Crux - Industrial - Mist - Redmond - ThinIce - Pixmap - SVG i.e. you can't use more modern themes found on the web based on theme engines like aurora, equinox or murrine. Example (assuming you have GIMP 2.8 from lisanet installed): ============================================================ To use the dark theme included with latest GIMP on OS X (2.8p1): create '~/.gtkrc-2.0' with this content: # --------------------------------- # # default gtkrc file '~/.gtkrc-2.0' # # use dark theme 'Pro' from GIMP on OS X for all GTK+-based applications: include "/Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/share/gimp/2.0/themes/Pro/gtkrc" # Alternatively, use a theme installed into '~/.themes', e.g. #gtk-theme-name="Darkilouche" # to enable Preview.app as print preview, uncomment next line: #gtk-print-preview-command="/usr/bin/open %f" # --------------------------------- Notes: 1) If you installed GIMP into a different folder, please adjust the path as needed. 2) OS X doesn't make it easy to create (and edit) hidden dot-files: use a real text editor (e.g. MacVim, TextWrangler or Sublime 2), or else work in the Terminal. ~suv ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
