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. "

    David Sansome... at least name the person who put in the effort to make this happen.

    No, bluecurve are still seperate themes that look the same.. You need to make each theme both for gtk and for qt.
    This theme engine uses the actual qt theme and thus does not require any duplicate work when creating a theme.

    I wonder if the reverse could also be done (a qt engine that uses the gtk engine for its theme) or is gtk more flexible in this regard?

    Isn't this what Redhat's Bluecurve does?

    No. Bluecurve is one widget style under QT and another under GTK, that have been designed to look the same as one another.

    This system is quite different to that, it gets GTK to effectively draw widgets in the same style as the QT theme, regardless of which QT theme you're using.
