I am writing a simple app to display my GTK3 theme:
#!/usr/bin/ruby -W0
require 'gtk3'
app = Gtk::Application.new('org.xfce-colour.example', :flags_none)
app.signal_connect('activate') do |a|
w = Gtk::ApplicationWindow.new(a)
w.set_title('XFCE Colour')
w.set_icon('/home/sourav/Documents/xfce_colour.png')
w.set_default_size(70, 70)
g = Gtk::Grid.new
w.add(g)
b1 = Gtk::Button.new(label: 'Button')
g.attach(b1, 0, 0, 1, 1)
b2 = Gtk::CheckButton.new('')
g.attach(b2, 1, 0, 1, 1)
b3 = Gtk::RadioButton.new('')
g.attach(b3, 2, 0, 1, 1)
b4 = Gtk::SearchEntry.new()
g.attach(b4, 3, 0, 1, 1)
b5 = Gtk::ToggleButton.new('Button')
g.attach(b5, 0, 1, 1, 1)
b6 = Gtk::ColorButton.new
g.attach(b6, 1, 1, 1, 1)
b7 = Gtk::Switch.new
g.attach(b7, 2, 1, 1, 1)
b8 = Gtk::Entry.new()
g.attach(b8, 3, 1, 1, 1)
[b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8].each do |b|
begin
b.margin = 6
rescue Exception
puts $!
end
end
w.show_all
end
app.run
Please comment the w.set_icon('...') line before running.
What I want to do is changing the GTK theme from the app as it's done in A Widget Factory.
For example, I would be able to send the first argument my theme name:
ruby layout.rb XFCE_Colour_Lite_Pink
And set the theme to XFCE_Colour_Lite_Pink:

I am using XFCE4, and it will be better if I can even change the WM theme.
Edit: As stated here, in Python, we have the Gtk.set_property() method. I followed this for Ruby:
settings = Gtk::Settings.new
puts settings.set_property('XFCE_Colour_Lite_Yellow', 'Papirus')
I got the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
1: from layout.rb:7:in `<main>'
layout.rb:7:in `set_property': No such property: XFCE_Colour_Lite_Yellow (GLib::NoPropertyError)
