Odysseas Registered Member Posts 6 Karma 0	Change KDE3 theme from within KDE4. Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:24 pm Hello all, first post at the new forums I'm running KDE 4.1.2 on arch linux. My problem is that all KDE3 applications I use, use the default KDE3 theme and I can't find an option to change it from somewhere. Is there an easy way to do that?

Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:33 pm Unless Arch has a package with KControl, there isn't an easy way to do it as far as I know. This goes for any distro.

jrick Registered Member Posts 131 Karma 1 OS	RE: Change KDE3 theme from within KDE4. Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:35 pm Ah, right. Arch removed KDE3 from their repos. Well, you could try using kcontrol from KDEmod, if you really wanted to. Not sure how to change the theme without using a GUI (although I really should know...). Type Colemak!

pantsgolem Registered Member Posts 9 Karma 0	RE: Change KDE3 theme from within KDE4. Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:26 am If Arch packages the KDE3 version of kcmshell (which is separate from kcontrol) then you can run "kcmshell style"
Odysseas Registered Member Posts 6 Karma 0	RE: Change KDE3 theme from within KDE4. Tue Oct 14, 2008 8:43 am Running kcmshell --list lists zero modules and I can't find kcontrol. I guess I could try with the kdemod package, but I'm afraid that maybe things will get messed up if I mix kde4, kdemod3 and their repositories together. Anyway, I can live with the default kde3 theme, thank you for your answers Last edited by Odysseas on Tue Oct 14, 2008 8:45 am, edited 1 time in total.
