how do you theme graphical apps in a wm?

Pretty much all graphical apps that dont have thier own theming option (like firefox) are always just the white background default theme. No matter wether it’s qt or gtk. Wich files would i need to edit to change that? Searching on the internet only told me that i should change an environment variable bit doing so changed...

There are normally config files for GTK at ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini.

Qt themes are configured differently. For Qt5 and Qt6, set the environment variable QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE. If you still use Qt4 for anything, config is done in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf. Refer to the ArchWiki for help.

I personally prefer GUIs, though, so I’d recommend the following:

  • For GTK 2 & 3: LXAppearance
  • For GTK 3 & 4: Gradience
  • For Qt: qt5ct, qt6ct, and/or Kvantum

I will probably swear by CDs until the day I die. Small, physical, hard-wearing, and with excellent sound quality: they are perfect. I’m also fond of the Ogg Opus file format.

In terms of actual devices, though, I don’t really know anything.

I feel like I’ve been posting a lot of Death Cab lately, but I’d say “Transatlanticism” by Death Cab for Cutie.

It might also be good to have a bot that links to Imgin or Rimgo, which are privacy-respecting frontends for Imgur.

My school moves everyone up after the GCSEs and A-Levels are over, which is in May or June. The holiday starts in July.

As far as I know, we’re the only school in Britain that does this.

Instead of moving up to the next year (the British term for “grade”) in September, we do it after the exams (finals) are over, which is in June.

Yeah, but high school starts at year 9 (age 13-14), so:

(Y9 doesn’t exist for a bit)

Y9 --> Y10

Y10 --> Y11

Y11 --> (Either leave school or just take a few extra weeks off)

Y12 --> Y13

Y13 --> (Leave school*)

This is done because, after the exams, the Y11s and Y13s have no content left to learn, so there’s no point in keeping them at school.

Also, as I said, my school is strange for doing this. Most, if not all, other British high schools are normal.

*Unless you get held back, stay on for another year, or go to university

TL;DR: Yeah, pretty much

North East England. Around here, it goes like this:

  • 4-8 years: First School
  • 8-13 years: Middle School
  • 13-16 years: High School

then

  • 16-18 years: College or Sixth Form
  • 18+: University, etc.

You are probably used to the two-tier system, with a primary school and a secondary school. Around here, though, we mainly have a three-tier system.
