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. "

  1. Claim: many KDE apps suck by Ars-Fartsica · · Score: 0, Troll
    Claim: Apart from Konqueror and KDevelop, KDE has no viable packages. Nothing to compete with GIMP, nothing to compete with AbiWord, nothing to compete with Gaim.

    KDE has a better file manager?!?! Great, maybe one day if I see the need for one it will matter.

    I dont know why it was described as "in your face" before

    Because in GNOME, components are just used. GNOME developers don't feel the need to bleat on and about it on slashdot. Nor so they feel the need to spread rumours about KParts being dropped from KDE. It's the difference between mature, professional GNOME developers and the childish KDE gobshites.

    >> KDE will never be the dominant desktop.

    >Care to substantiate that is not _currently_ the dominant desktop?

    That was not my intent, but...

    Substantiate? That's impossible to do for either desktop. There is no registration or accounting mechanism.

    We can use circumstantial evidence:
    *) most users run the distro's default desktop.
    *) Red Hat is not just the leading distro, but also the the majority distro.

    That's not perfect science, but I'll wager on it anyways. I don't give much weight to how loud any particular demographic/group is.. the minority factions in life are always trying to compensate for size. ;-)

    (NOTE: Light sarcasm is meant to be humorous. By no means would I intend disrespect to the general KDE community, and especially not to hardworking, generous developers. /. moderators with an agenda only hurt the forum, not me.)
