Ubuntu – QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme

gtkqtthemes

When I start any Qt app, I get this message in the terminal, and the Qt app doesn't use the same theme as my Gtk apps:

QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

How do I make QGtkStyle detect my current GTK+ theme?

It seems that LXDE is using a settings daemon, and there is no gtkrc-2.0 file in my home folder.

Try with:

export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"

Also make sure you defined a theme in yout gtkrc-2.0 like this:

gtk-theme-name="myTheme"
