Handling GTK Windows in KDE4

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3794 / 2 Years ago, sun, march 27, 2022, 12:15:07

I've installed kde via sudo apt-get install kde-full and it worked perfectly, and all is well, except for these ugly gtk applications. (Pictures Here) So I did some research and came across this form here and I've installed the two packages via sudo apt-get install kde-style-qtcurve gtk2-engines-qtcurve and I presume that they're installed, however I cannot figure out how to do the second part :

GTK apps look like that unless you install those and tell KDE to handle them with care, in System Settings -> Appearance -> GTK Styles and Fonts. GTK Styles, Use another style: Qtcurve. Then log out and back in.

So my question is : in KDE4 how do I accomplish the above?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

I think you can try with the kde-config-gtk-style package:

kde-config-gtk-style:

 Configuration dialog to adapt GTK+ applications appearance to your taste

 under KDE. Among its many features, it lets you:

  - Choose which theme is used for GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x applications.

  - Tweak some GTK+ applications behaviour.

  - Select what icon theme to use in GTK+ applications.

  - Select GTK+ applications default fonts.

  - Easily browse and install new GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.x themes.

Install the package with

sudo apt-get install kde-config-gtk-style

Under System Settings > Application Appearance you have a new item named "Gtk Configuration"

enter image description here

Finally you can change the options according to your needs. eg: themes, icons,fonts.

Hope this will be helpful.

Regards.
