My system is Ubuntu 18.04.
I want to start corebird with a specific theme from a .desktop file.
So I created a .desktop file with this exec line:
Exec=env GTK_THEME=mytheme corebird
But corebird launched with the gnome-shell default theme.
Then I created a bash script:
#!/bin/bash
export GTK_THEME="mytheme"
exec /usr/bin/corebird "$@"
... and change exec line with:
Exec=/home/me/bin/corebird.sh
... but same result, corebird launched with GNOME default theme.
So, what is the way to launch an app with specific theme from a .desktop file ?
