gtk apps ugly on kde, a perhaps simple solution

[okparanoid]

Binary package hint: kubuntu-kde4-desktop

Hi all !

Lot of people complains about the uglyness of the gtk apps in kubuntu desktop.

I have just discovered (and was surprised) than by just selecting a theme (glossy for example) in the gnome control center, the result is very great in kde, much more than with the use of other workarounds like gtk-qt-engine packages.

I think than theme that are clone of the oxygen exist in gnome-looks.org and i wonders why kubuntu just not apply by default one of this clone theme from gtk apps or just the glossy one.

I can now use xchat, firefox gimp in kde and have a pleasant looking experience with it.

Could we just add a minimal dependencies package (should be possible to not to install the control center, just the theme to apply ?) for that with kubuntu-desktop ?

Cheers !!

I have not seen the theme in question, however, I agree that theming GTK would be a great way to help KDE compatibility. Is there a technical reason not to?

I think this bug is very important for (K)ubuntu to fix, it really messes up the kubuntu experience.

We're using the GTK QtCurve theme by default in Kubuntu 9.04.
