- This will make creating new themes for KDE very easy.
- This will make KDE appearance more flexible and highly configurable.
- This will give unified look and feel to KDE and GTK applications in KDE.
- By providing menu themes such as gnome style / win7 style / mac style, KDE can be easily configured to look exactly like gnome / win7 / mac.
- By just one click we can change KDE to look like Ubuntu / Mint / Opensuse / Fedora / Mandriva / KDE3 / Win7 / WinXP / Mac and thus making every user feel at home in KDE.
