In my case, non-TDE means QT4 apps, Virtualbox and VLC. I have been geting gui visual issues,black lines, googling indicates a bug in QT4.8.x , which Debian Jessie uses. Does Opera use QT4?
I tried the 2 gtk packages to see if they would help..a long..long shot..no go..but I found another theme engine installed "qt4-tqt-theme-engine. I uninstalled this and my issues with Vbox & VLC are gone.
Hi Greg,
VLC seems to be unaffected on my system and the qt4-tqt-theme-engine package isn't installed, so that at least is one problem I don't have.
As far as I can tell the only gtk "engine" package I have installed is the gtk2-theme-engines packages which contains the "default" GTK+ 2.0 engines.
Hi Tim,
I eventually resolved the problem by installing the packages below gtk2-engines-murrine murrine-themes
Having installed them open tde control centre (system settings)
appearance/gtk
styles and fonts. Under GTK Styles choose use another style and chose
one of
the Murrine styles. I chose MurrinaBlue but probably any of the murrine styles will work.
Hi Nigel,
I've installed the equivalent Mageia murrine packages, but the "appearance/gtk styles and fonts" option in the TDE control centre is missing on my system and I've not been able to identify what I need to install to make this option available.
I do have the gtk-chtheme tool installed, but TDE seems to be overriding the choice made with this tool.
Thanks again, Tim W
