So i have been busy with midterm exams and basically just not writing anything somewhat related down. i have abandoned Windows on everything but my mid spec gaming rig, but with steam os in the making, i am hoping to ditch windows soon enough.
That have left me distro hopping all around, but i keep coming back to Linux Mint since 15 and up to 17.1, i'm on debian and ubuntu for my servers, and switched over to Arch Linux on my laptop a few months back. Talk about a distribution that will force you to learn, patch and learn some more about your system.
I have been meaning to write down a few things here, mainly to remind myself somewhere down the line if i run into the same problem.
One thing i have found helpful as a workaround for problems with customizing my own OS themes, and having applications break from GTK errors and the like, is launching a program using a specific theme. In my case i have used the Adwaita theme, for it's basic allround functionality.
So to run a custom command launching a program using the Adwaita theme i do:
For launching a application using its gtk3 theme simple structure the command as such:
GTK_THEME=Adwaita agave
edit: you need to include a export statement to your bashrc
export GTK_PATH="$GTK_PATH:/usr/share/themes/"
