Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This GTK theme engine by David Sansome uses the currently selected QT style to do it's drawing. Basically, it makes your GTK apps look like QT ones.
Please see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fgtk_2dqt for more information and CVS instructions.
This is a 0.x release - so don't expect it to work perfectly :)
The theme now works in GNOME, and there's no need to edit any Makefiles to get it to compile.

There's one thing though that's causing some difficulty. For some reason, the background of menus has a very dark color, which I don't know where it comes from, but it looks ugly and makes it hard to read. I remember I had a similar problem with the default settings of Baghira, but going into Kcontrol -> Appearances and Themes -> Style -> Widget Style [Baghira] -> Configure, and selecting "background" in the "menus" tab solved the issue in KDE. However, the issue is back in GTK apps using this package.
I'm using the Debian unstable package.
If any of you guys have some idea what's going on here I'd be grateful for some advice.
Thanks again!

Also I can't select a gtk theme from kcontrol, I mean even after selecting any of the available themes I get the default KDE theme (with all the black menus). [Me using KDE 3.5.1 on Suse 10 with Baghira for KDE].

I like this idea a lot! Is there a RPM for SuSE 9.2 / upcoming 9.3 available?
That would be awesome :-)
Thanks a lot!

i dont like Gtk(GNOME) apps because they have a nasty look,they are not smooth,etc.But the apps are really good(see gimp,gaim) and before i discovered this theme i didnt used those programs.
In kde i use the baghira theme(it is the best theme aqua based) so now my gtk apps look like kde one,but there are some thinks that dont work:
-menu transparency
-animated scrolls and progress bars
-smooth scrolling(thats from gtk so i think there is nothing to do ;( )
-there is no way to disable this theme from kde
And there is a very naughty bug: when u change the desktop background or(sometimes) change the desktop the gtk apps(all that are opened) simply crash
This theme has a great future uniting GNOME and KDE look so that a user will use the same way of viewing the apps.
I wander if there is a revers theme: a theme for making kde apps look like those from GNOME?

Thank you very much. Now, both major applications that used to have an uggly interface (Firefox and Evolution) have the same baghira metal look as my other applications.
Thank you.

Are there any other settings ?
Surprisingly Firefox, with its default theme, takes the Baghira look . Even the Menus look proper, that is they take the Baghira look.
Am I missing some settings?

Or does maybe somebody know another way to make the fonts of apps like Gaim or Azureus with the Theme Engine GUI smaller? They're just TOO big.
thx

This line should come after identifier and vendorname lines. Check log again to verify the dpi settings. This should solve it, assuming the problem is indeed with your dpi settings, otherwise just ignore this rambling:)

As I understand it, I do not need any additional software from GNOME, I just need to install correctly gtk-theme, the create ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (for per-user changes) and also there's supposed to be rc-file for current theme, for instance ~/.gtk_qt_engine_rc
Ok, lets suppose I cant use your application. What do I do then? Am I just to install gtk-theme I need, then create correct ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and enjoy?
Ain't I asking too much questions? :))

I'd love to know what software I need to use gtk-themes? I didn't install all the packages that are distributed with GNOME, instead I did only install those which are required by the applications based on GTK+2 I run (The GIMP, Inkscape, StarDict and some others). So, I'm curious about whether I'm missing some software and what exactly I do need to make GTK+ based applications use GTK-QT Theme Engine.
Thnx in a advance!
