Dear All,
I am running XFCE on Fedora 22. And my problem is that the GNOME applications does not obey to the windows style I have chosen for XFCE applications. Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Xfce is gtk2 based, most gnome3 applications are gtk3 based.
Setting a gtk2 theme won't change any gtk3 apps. So, make sure you have a gtk3 based them to set them to.
xfce-theme-manager package might be of help (it lets you see all the themes you have installed/available and lets you tweak and set them).

Could you be more verbose. What exactly are people supposed to install and which themes/settinga are known to work?
At least I have not been able to find any xfce/gtk2/gtk3 theme combo which harmonizes well with gnome3-apps under xfce on fc22 and deserves to be named "functional".
IMO, it's all an annoying and dysfunctional mess.

Any theme that has both a gtk2 and gtk3 version should mostly work.
adwaita-gtk2-theme.x86_64 albatross-gtk2-theme.noarch albatross-gtk3-theme.noarch bluebird-gtk2-theme.noarch bluebird-gtk3-theme.noarch clearlooks-phenix-gtk2-theme.noarch clearlooks-phenix-gtk3-theme.noarch egtk-gtk2-theme.noarch egtk-gtk3-theme.noarch greybird-gtk2-theme.noarch greybird-gtk3-theme.noarch light-gtk2-theme.noarch light-gtk3-theme.noarch zukini-gtk2-theme.noarch zukini-gtk3-theme.noarch zukitwo-gtk2-theme.noarch zukitwo-gtk3-theme.noarch zukiwi-gtk2-theme.noarch zukiwi-gtk3-theme.noarch
Or any locally installed one in ~/.themes that has both gtk2/gtk3.
Of course some have bettter coverage than others...

Well, adwaita is supposed to (it has a gtk2 version as well).
In the end it's somewhat personal preference...

Thanks for the list. I'll check if I can find a functional combo throughout the next couple of days.
Or any locally installed one in ~/.themes that has both gtk2/gtk3.
I don't have such folder - Is it supposed to be present and/or created?

adwaita doesn't seem to work. It seems to be being ignored by Firefox and Thunderbird and not harmonize well with some gnome3 apps (eg. rhythmbox).
Of those I've tried so far, clearlooks-phenix seems to be closest to be functional with most apps, unfortunately it seems to have problems in computing the geometry/position of certains widgets correcty (I haven't tried to investigate deeper, yet).
