How to detect current theme from terminal?

[leon.vitanos]

First thing is always searching google.
i found this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...93&postcount=2

the commands always outputs
Ambience
ubuntu-mono-dark
Ambience

whatever the current theme is. But is from 2008 so its reasonable somethings to have changed. Any ideas on how can i do it now?

Ubuntu has used the dconf editor on Gnome 3.xx since 11.10 and in 2008 the Gnome 2 was still in use . I don't how commands might have changed though.

My output displays a theme I tried and completely removed two days ago.

You don't mention what version of Ubuntu you're using but I figured this out for 12.04 with the Unity-2D and classic (no effects) sessions:

gconftool-2 -g /apps/metacity/general/theme

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme

I'd think the latter three would be the same with Compiz but the first one may be different. You may find some other useful stuff here:

Edit...Too slow

Use gsettings to get dconf values.
The last one is your window or titlebar theme.

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme

Doesn't work for a pure Lubuntu 12.10. I see:

[07:40 AM] ~ $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
'Adwaita'
[07:41 AM] ~ $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme
'gnome'
[07:41 AM] ~ $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme
'Adwaita'
[07:41 AM] ~ $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme
'Adwaita'
[07:41 AM] ~ $

Any ideas what will work for Lubuntu?
