Hi, all. I just got Lubuntu 12.10 installed on my netbook because I was tired of Linux Mint - just had too many problems with it. I decided to go with Lubuntu because I had no problems with Kubuntu except not enough RAM - everything worked fine. But now I have problems with Lubuntu.

GTK3 applications do not theme properly. The colors aren't right, checkboxes don't show when they are checked, there is a solid color behind all text.

I cannot change my mouse cursor. It insists on using the standard white pointer, but all the other pointers (hand, busy, text cursor) change.

Anyone have any ideas?

edit: BTW, this theme worked perfectly in Mint XFCE

And you didn't have this problem with GTK3 apps in KDE? That is amazing because I do. I had to change to a color theme that was white backgrounds in the apps.

You might try seeing if you have lxappearence installed and if it isn't install it.

I'm not sure if I have any gtk3 apps installed on my openSuse PC - FF & LibreOffice work fine, but I think they are gtk2.
lxappearance is the default tool for changing themes in LXDE, I think. That's what I used to change the themes.

Hmm...Don't know what to tell you but in the last year seems like nothing GTK likes any non-GTK dark themes. I didn't have this problem before but now I do so make what you will but I say it's the GTK programs fault and I try not to use as much of them. Best thing I guess is to get some GTK themes and see if you can fix it but I'm not sure as I just don't bother with GTK.

Maybe I'll have to try Kubuntu again - I upgraded the RAM, so it might work better.

I hope I helped in some way. But yeah...GTK outside of GTK3/2 is not fun.

Why it is viewed as the default for Linux I don't understand but I have to deal with it.

You mean Gnome? I love KDE, but it's more "heavyweight". XFCE was great, my issues with Mint weren't related to the DE, but I thought I would try LXDE because it's supposedly even faster than XFCE. And my netbook has never booted as fast as it does with Lubuntu, so I really wish it would work
