Unifying GTK & QT Theme Engines

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bringing-it-together dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Some guy on kde-look recently released code that makes gtk apps use the current qt theme. Seems this would be a major development for unifying the 2 environments. From the URL: This GTK theme engine uses the currently selected QT style to do it's drawing. Basically, it makes your GTK apps look like QT ones. "

    Dip Shit ... ...every bit of interoperability and unification helps. Naysay as much as you want regarding Microsoft, but the reason why they have the market share is because of the unification present(at least in appearance. ..

    What interoperability ? sure Windows has great interoperability ... WITH ITSELF... Just like MacOS or Linux Or BSD, they interoperate perfectly with themselves. The difference is with the *nixes you have choice. Since when did Windows offer you a number of different Window managers? And guess what... OpenSource by definition provides better interoperability with other operating systems than your proprietary windows fluff. How may open source programs have been ported to other Operating systems? And how many windows programs have been ported to Open Source platforms? I suggest you reconsider your understanding of the word Interoperability, and as for Unification? it has no place on windows because you only have one window manager anyway.

    Can't you read? "Hard on the eyes" is obviously a statement of opinion, just as "You suck" and "Pantera Rocks" and "She is so hot" and "your momma is an ugly bitch" are statements of opinion. None of these need to be prepended by "I think".

    You're an asshat (I think).

    gnome is so far behind kde in almost all respects i am still slightly amazed and slightly intrigued that people actually willingly choose it. not to sound like a troll, but what is there about the gnome desktop that is sufficiently compelling to favour it over kde (not counting specific apps, since they can be run through either kde/gnome)?
