KDE3 and KDE4 style non-uniform

Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:44 pm
Hello all,
[my first post here :D]

I have openSuSE 11.2 32-bit updated completely with KDE 4.x [not sure of minor version]. Almost all software I run is KDE4 only, but a few of them are KDE3 and I would like to keep it that way. Most important of this is KDevelop/KDE3. I also have KDevelop 4, but I cannot use it currently to my requirements. I have modified the look and feel of my KDE desktop completely. Those changes only reflect in the KDE4 applications somehow. KDevelop/KDE3 still runs with the native style and that is really really garish. I need a way to either:

i] Make the KDE3 and KDE4 applications run with uniform styles.
OR
ii] A way to change the styles for KDE3 applications.

Thanks a lot,
rohan

KDE 4 applications use by default a style called "Oxygen" which is only available for Qt 4 based applications ( ie. not KDE 3 apps )

I would recommend using a style that they both share, such as Plastique.

What about Skulpture? Does it support KDE3 applications? Also, my font sizes also are non-uniform and that's my biggest concern. I need the font sizes to be uniform. How do I change the font sizes for all aplications?

Font sizes for KDE 4 applications can be changed in System Settings > Appearance > Fonts.

If you have the needed KDE 3 components installed, "kcmshell fonts"
