Opening applications with random theme
I'm using Canvas GTK theme and have all colors of that theme on my system.
I want to use one of those Canvas themes randomly each time I open an application.
I know I can use env GTK_THEME to open an application with different theme but the problem with that is the title bar is still the main theme on some applications like libre office, not the theme that I specified in env GTK_THEME.
Beside this problem, I don't know how to do this when every new application launch, so I wrote this script:
#!/bin/bash
theme_names=("Canvas" "Canvas-red" "Canvas-pink" "Canvas-indigo" "Canvas-blue" "Canvas-indigo" "Canvas-yellow")
theme_length=${#theme_names[@]}
rand_value=$(( $RANDOM % theme_length ))
theme_name=${theme_names[$rand_value]}
echo "$1 is opening with $theme_name themen"
echo "script is running: env GTK_THEME=$theme_name $1"
env GTK_THEME=$theme_name $1
and then I can run it with ./myscript.sh gedit and the application can have random theme each time I run the script.
How can I apply this script globally? and is there anyway to solve title bar issue?

Well, you'd have to watch for new windows appearing, but thenGTK_THEMEhas to be applied to each and every window individually which is not something you can do, and you can't account for every possible launcher that opens an application.

So short answer, I don't think it's possible to apply random theme to each window. Though if someone can make it work, I'd be pleasantly surprised
