Change the GTK Theme in 2008 KDE [solved]

you need to install the gtk-qt engine then an option to change the gtk theme under kde will show up in the kde control center, you can then choose to use either gtk-qt or any installed gtk theme without the need of any gnome stuff installed

 

my guess is that there have been some changes in glib which affect gtk-qt engine causing some themes to look crappy in some gtk apps, the change happened for me in both gutsy and mdv2008.0

 

ps try deleting the .gtk related files in your home directory to get the gtk theme to change, sometimes they seem to get corrupted......

I have a feeling it is gnome-control-center that will give you this. Then you need to add it to .kde/Autostart, simply by doing this:

 

cd ~/.kde/Autostart
ln -s /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon

 

and then each time you restart KDE it will be loaded.

 

 

yup that did it, I wasnt sure as I know packaging varies
