x11 looks ugly while opening a remote window from ssh. Can I use GTK themes?
- by Simon
I use to connect to a distant computer running linux from my mac using ssh.
For example I use:
$ ssh -Y login@host
then
$ gnome-open .
in order to open a nautilus window. This window do open but it looks ugly. I found here that one can install GTK themes through Macports.
I installed gtk2-aurora and gtk-chtheme and chose the aurora theme successfully, but my remote windows still look ugly.
Is this theme (or others) working for remote windows or is it only for local x11 windows?
Is there a way to improve the look and feel of remote windows?
