And restart every running application, and hope they preserve their
state, because themes set via gtk-3.0/settings.ini only take effect on
application startup.
Alternatively, keep a settings daemon running. With one of these, you
can apply themes on the fly. If you’re using a desktop environment
such as GNOME, KDE or Xfce, you already have one. If not, Xfce’s
xfsettingsd is lightweight enough and can run without the whole DE.
(Start it on your session startup with an --sm-client-disable option.)
There is also something called Xsettingsd which is purportedly even
more lightweight.
