QTPixmap GTK engine

About
-----
This is a GTK engine that allows re-colouring of pixmaps based upon Qt's colour
settings. It will also try to match the font settings.
Installation
------------
./configure --prefix=/where/you/want/to/install/this
make
make install (as root)
then copy
/where/you/want/to/install/this/share/themes/Geramik/gtk/gtkrc
...to either /etc/gtk/gtkrc or ~/.gtkrc
For GTK2 apps, copy
/where/you/want/to/install/this/share/themes/Geramik/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
...to either /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc or ~/.gtkrc-2.0
*OR*
Another, simpler way is to edit ~/.gtkrc (GTK1) or ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (GTK2) and
just have the following line:
include "/where/you/want/to/install/this/share/themes/Geramik/gtk/gtkrc"
-or-
include "/where/you/want/to/install/this/share/themes/Geramik/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
Font Sizes
----------
Using Mandrake 9.0 I came accross a curious situation where a 12pt font was a
different size in a KDE app (which uses Xft to draw fonts), and a GTK1 app (which
uses plain X to draw fonts). I finally tracked this down to the fact that Mandrake
was hard-coding a 90dpi resolution for Xft - wherease standard X defaults to 75dpi.
To remedy this I had to remove the following line:
Xft.dpi: 90
...from both /etc/X11/Xresources /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources
Then when the X server was restarted, both Xft and X apps then used the *same*
resolution - resulting in consistency between GTK1, GTK2, and KDE/Qt applications.
(NOTE: You maky need to change the used font siszes in KControl/fonts)
If you want to use a higher than 75 dpi resolution, I suggest you edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
and set it to someting like (for 100dpi)
:0 local /bin/nice -n -10 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -deferglyphs 16 -dpi 100
...this way *both* Xft and X apps will then use the new resolution!
For GTK1 apps, if you are having problems with font encodings, set the
QT_GTK_ENC to your required encoding. e.g.
export QT_GTK_ENC=iso8859-2
