google earth and idle ugliness

So for some reason idle and google-earth are using this ugly skin, but can't locate what exactly to change to fix that, any clues?

Re: google earth and idle ugliness

IIRC Idle uses the tkinter toolkit, and the skin is likely to be hard-coded.

Re: google earth and idle ugliness

@damo, I thought so as well, but changing tkinter skin does not change the grey on dark-grey menus.

Re: google earth and idle ugliness

Does this happen with all gtk themes? I'm wondering if you can get light text with a certain theme, then you can run the app with the theme that works. There is a HowTo on the #! forums: HowTo: Have an application use a different GTK theme

Re: google earth and idle ugliness

yes, with all, also qt4-config stuff doesn't make difference.

That rings a bell - Google Earth Linux has problems with the Qt libraries bundled with the package. Something to do with that?

Re: google earth and idle ugliness

Could be, so idle (in regular repos) may be the same story (unlikely)?

Re: google earth and idle ugliness

Google Earth 7 is using Qt 5, and the Qt 5.3.2 in Jessie doesn't really support changing its appearance much, other than setting it to follow the GTK style in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf with

style=GTK+

Re: google earth and idle ugliness

Just for the record: modifying or deleting Trolltech.conf doesn't seem to affect idle.
