Hello,

I'm using glade 3.2.0 together with GTK 2.10.11 on Ubuntu and my applications look like they use a very old theme or something. The buttons and everything look really ugly and dated.

Does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance,
Jeroen

What theme are you using? Do your applications look like other GTK+ applications? Are you sure that you are compiling against GTK+ 2.x? Could we see some code and/or a screenshot?

Here's a screenshot.

For clarification I'll post the code here too:

void InitApp()
{
GladeXML *Xml;

Xml = glade_xml_new("MainWindow.glade", NULL, NULL);

glade_xml_signal_autoconnect(Xml);

SetCallBacks(Xml);

//g_object_unref(G_OBJECT(Xml));
}

void SetCallBacks(GladeXML *Xml)
{
GtkWidget *ActieNieuw = glade_xml_get_widget(Xml, "ActieNieuw");
glade_xml_signal_connect_data(Xml, "on_ActieNieuw_activate", G_CALLBACK(Reset), (gpointer)Xml);
}

void Reset(GtkWidget *Widget, gpointer Data)
{
GladeXML *Xml = (GladeXML*)Data;
GtkWidget *CodeWidget = glade_xml_get_widget(Xml, "CodeWidget");
GtkTextBuffer *Buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(CodeWidget));

gtk_text_buffer_set_text(Buffer, "Lekker Leeg...", -1);
}

I'm using the default Ubuntu "Human" theme and I'm linking with GTK the usual `pkg-config` way.

Are you running your application as root perhaps? The root user has a different GTK theme I believe...

It seems I get the opposite effect: when I run the app as root all is fine, but when I run it under my account it uses the old theme.

How can I prevent this?

If your themes are look perfect in root as Micah suggested, perhaps your user profile corrupted. Create another user and try to run the program logon as the new user. When you create a new user the system will copy a fresh copy of profile in to the home directory upon login.

But, What I can see from your screenshot is, everything else is fine except your program not utilizing the theme. :) That doesn't make sense. Any way give a try by creating another user.
