Seamonkey now requires gtk3
Seamonkey now requires gtk3
Just when I had my Slacko64-6.9.9.9 k 4.4 working well, the latest Seamonkey (2.49.1) requires gtk-3.0. I want the mailer & other components, so firefox etc are unsuitable. The slackware current version (64bit) also requires gtk3 and differs from the Seamonkey website version, having more dependancies. I got the 3 packages required (at-spi2-atk-2, at-spi2-core-2 & gtk+3-3) from the slackware repository, and the Seamonkey site version runs, but now headings & menus are microscopic. With gtk2, I edited /root/.gtkrc-2.0 to specify a decent font & specify gtk-theme Raleigh. No longer working. Creating .gtkrc-3.0 doesn't help. Any ideas?
SHORT version of above:
Latest Seamonkey uses gtk3 and headings/menus microscopic. How to fix?
EDIT: 64 bit (oops, short version of post 1 too short - next 2 posts precede this edit.).

The Slackware build of Seamonkey-4.9.1 is still GTK2:

LxPup = Puppy + LXDEMain version used daily: LxPupSc; Assembler of UPups, ScPup & ScPup64, LxPup, LxPupSc & LxPupSc64
I don't know if it works with the latest Seamonkey versions, or the 64-bit versions, but maybe the Theme Font & Size Changer extension could help?
(I don't normally keep it installed because it seems annoying and possibly invasive - it insists on updating fairly often, and popping up an update screen from the author's website that couldn't be disabled on each update, last time I checked. He also appears to have any negative comments about the extension deleted on AMO.)

To fix font size for headings/menus, I suggest to modify userChrome.css.

I hope it works for you.

It works with Seamonkey (and Thunderbird, too, IIRC):ozsouth wrote:Appreciate suggestions guys, but 64bit Seamonkey 2.49.1 is gtk3 only (forgot to say that in short post) & Theme font addon is for FIrefox only.

Sorry Makoto, the link you gave earlier said unavailable for my browser, but your latest link works. Thankyou!
I can disable updates & remove the menu bar button. (Item left in Tools menu).
EDIT: Thanks also Proebler - usrChrome.css below works too.

The original link was the author's homepage. I don't know why he doesn't list that it's compatible with Seamonkey.

The following userChrome.css largely solves the problem. 'File -> Page Setup' & 'Bookmarks -> File Bookmark' popups still have small fonts.
