From googling it seems a gtk3 version of Oxygen, for example, is a work in progress. How will the move to gtk3 affect KDE? Or is gtk2 going to be around, have I misunderstood this? (I did wonder the same about Xfce, but Gnome distros seem to have been the most adapted.)
Thanks. |

KDE does not rely on GTK in any way (afaik), it is based on Qt. So, migration to GTK3 should not be KDE user's problem.

That sounds good news, I think.
I'm not knowledgeable about this and may have misunderstood, but there are things like gtk2-engines-oxygen in the filesystem. I'd assumed that the widgets of the usual default KDE theme were gtk? Happy to have this clarified if there's any more info. My question partly comes from having got near to learning gtk well at the point where I realised I'd be better off learning css nowadays... |

KDE uses Qt, the GTK stuff is for making GTK applications look good in a "KDE environment". For example, Oxygen GTK is a port of KDE's default widget style Oxygen to GTK.
