Make KDE3 Apps Look Like KDE4

Wed Jan 14, 2009 4:20 am
I really like the look and feel of the KDE4 desktop but KDE3 apps are also inevitable in KDE4 like Konversation. So, is there any way change the look of KDE3 apps in someway to the OXygen of KDE 4.

Thanks in Advance...

Afaik, oxygen is totally Qt4 based, and it cannot be used to theme Qt3 apps.

You could make KDE4 look like KDE3. Use the Plastik style in KDE3 and Plastique in KDE4.

I think the op's talking about theming qt apps so they resemble qt4 apps. That would actually be very nice. I can't get kde4-k3b to run much longer than 15 seconds before crashing, and the KDE3 version sticks out like a sore thumb on a KDE4 desktop.

I've had best results using Domino. It's rather gray, but it has similar shapes and shades. Couple that with using the Oxygen icon theme and it's bearable.
