I'm using Suse 10.0, with kde 3.4 as my desktop. But I use quite a few gtk-based apps: firefox, thunderbird, gaim, gqview and so on. With each of those I have a problem with the pull-down menus: the currently selected menu item appears as white text on a very light grey background - anyway, it's completely unreadable. How do I change this behaviour; that is, change menu colors?
This is a problem with the very annoying gtk theme engine suse install by default to try to make GTK apps look like KDE apps. Look through your list of installed packages and remove it. I forget what it's called unfortunately :-( something like rpm -q -a | grep -i gtk | grep -i engine should probably find it. You'll be back on the slightly chunky default theme, but at least you'll be able to read menus. You could try putting clearlooks on to make GTK programs a bit prettier. Or maybe there's a better way?
