Audacious gtk theme

05 January 2021, 20:36:15

Hi guys i'm new to Artix Linux in a way also to Arch since my most of experience was spent on Xubuntu. I did this step on a new laptop because I thought I was ready and I wanted to learn something different, I am doing well and for the moment the only "problem" encountered is the lack of the gtk theme in audacious, apparently it is provided only the one in qt. At the moment I am using Lollypop and even though it is not my favorite music player I am enjoying it, however I wanted to know if there is a way to fix this or if in the future Audacious will be updated with the gtk theme. Regards!

Welcome here!
I also used Xubuntu for years, Manjaro XFCE afterwards and finally Artix XFCE OpenRC.

There is an audacious-gtk3 package, but available on AUR:
jp-artix: [jp]: ~ $ trizen audacious
6 aur / audacious-gtk3 3.10.1-1 [18+] [0.00%] [Dec 30, 2018]

But it might not be a good idea to install this package ...

If you like Audacious, you might like DeadBeef:
sudo pacman -S deadbeef
I like it because:
- deadbeef is easy to use and lightweight
- deadbeef picks up where it left off
- deadbeef allows you to sort the playlist in random mode
- deadbeef plays all audio and video files from one or more selected directories

Thanks guys for your answers now take a look,
deadbeef I know it by reputation but never used it, not even in other Linux distros. Right now I'm using Mate on runit to change since I have other PCs, I wanted to focus on something different but always light and that pulls me out of my conpulsive customizer disease that I usually have on xfce, leading me to waste more time modifying the desktop than to use it for work ... or for other ... situation that in the long run stresses both me and the computer. In this, Mate slows me down a bit, he lets himself be modified but up to a certain point, which is also good for me. Thanks again you get caught here in the ether!
