This is just a guess, but I beleive that because of the nature of the photos, the real sky can't be used. So they replaced it with a one colored background that represents the sky color.
I came to this conclusion because of two things. One, the horizon looks like it has been cut out and placed upon a new background.
Two, as far as I can see, the entire sky consists of on 1 color, and at least in normal photography this would be very unlikely.
Midori uses webkit. It's still alpha, but is usable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(browser) It uses GTK+ 2, so it shouldn't have any KDE dependencies.
