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. "

    Why do we need two widgets?

    Because if you only had one widget, all GUI programs would be a pain to use.

    C programmers prefer a toolkit containing plenty of whips and thumbscrews. They must be masochists, it's the only explanation for their use of a glorified assembler.

    Yet Another QT Hacker will soon write a similar style for QT to use GTK to draw widgets, the result will be:

    GTK: Please QT, draws me a button
    QT : Please GTK, draws me a button
    GTK: Please QT, draws me a button
    QT : Please GTK, draws me a button
    GTK: Please QT, draws me a button...

    Have to wait before having anything drawn on the screen...

  6. QT theme for GTK? by simcop2387 · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'd like to see a similar thing for QT that uses the current GTK theme, but what happens when you turn on both of these!?!

    Bill Gates would be posting on Slashdot and complaining about the monopoly.

    And his sig would be "120 chars should be enough for anyone".
