I use a GTK 3 application ("Revolt" on Debian/Devuan) and its titlebar is so ugly. I tried to use my TDE style for it in "GTK Styles and Fonts" and it only makes it worse. GTK 2 applications look much nicer with Tqt3 integration, but GTK 3... It's an eyesore no matter what, to say the least.This brings me to my question - is there any way to make GTK 3 apps integrate more nicely into TDE? I have gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity installed but there's only the default style available or use my TDE theme for it (which breaks it and makes it look worse).
For GTK3 I recommend installing the package "gtk3-nocsd". It will force GTK3 applications to refrain from drawing their own titlebar (client-side decoration as the Gnome folks call it) and will restore the TDE titlebars instead.
Secondly, I recommend the GTK2/3 theme "TraditionalOk" from the "mate-themes" package of the Debian repositories, which gets quite close to TDE's Plastik theme. Once installed, you should be able to select it for GTK3 in the "GTK Styles and Fonts" panel of the control center.

Did we not already discuss this matter in two or three previous threads?
"GTK 3 TQt Engine Styles" (See 7/28/2021 where a method is summarized by the present author.)
Also: "how to force TDE colors in non-TDE apps? SOLVED" 2021-01-18 or thereabouts (an exchange mostly between E.Liddell and myself).
I don't know if it will make the scroll bar more manageable -- I don't seem to have that problem -- but as far as forcing TDE's themes and colors in non-TDE applications, and resolving issues with gtk2, gtk3 and the Qt/TQt stuff ...?
Well, it does what I want. No worries here, I can get on with doing other things.

For disabling the auto-hide behavior of GTK3 scrollbars this should do the trick (copy and paste the following commands into konsole):
echo "export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0" > \ "$HOME/.trinity/env/gtk3-static-scrollbars.sh" chmod +x "$HOME/.trinity/env/gtk3-static-scrollbars.sh"
Finally, log out and back in.

my .xsessionrc has this line, which should do the same (but GTK3 .. well, surprises guaranteed):
LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0

Hello Leslie :)
Judging from your signature, you are running openSUSE right? If so, the package seems to be available for openSUSE as well: https://software.opensuse.org/package/mate-themes
In any other case, the upstream source seems to be located here: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-themes/tree/master/desktop-themes/Tradi... They do have Git branches called v3.xx.x referring to the GTK3 version, which needs to match your system's. I do not know the exact build process they use though.
Best regards, Leskala

That's strange. If I download the package for openSUSE Leap 15.2 from the link manually and extract it, I can see files for /usr/share/themes/TraditionalOk in it.

I was confused; I have both mint-themes and mate-themes installed, and I was looking at the wrong one.

When you start "lxappearance" you should see the theme. But in my case (devuan) it does not show any difference to "Clearlooks" - which could be what is intended.

Yes, this is by design. Judging from the "AUTHORS" file of the upstream repository of TraditionalOk, it seems to be fork/continiuation of Clearlooks-Phenix, which in turn was a GTK3 port of the Clearlooks theme of the GTK2 days.
