Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem in this case. Indeed, it's a little more subtle: QtCurve's default appearance is an oxygen-like style. However, it can be customized in almost any way you can imagine. I prefer to use a style more acqua-like. GTK applications *are* using QtCurve, but with its default oxygen-like style instead of my customized acqua-like style. Therefore, GTK applications look completely alien in my desktop KDE. This also happens if I set up QtCurve to use any of its provided preset settings. Right now, the only way I'm able to make GTK and KDE applications look the same with QtCurve is using its default oxygen-like appearance. I've filled a bug about this in Ubuntu's launchpad.

In the case of the kde color option, it was a simple matter of toggling the option to apply to non-kde-apps off, hitting apply, then toggling it back on and hitting apply again. This sort of reapply the options to make them work again technique was very common on MS at least back in the 9x era before MS pushed me off their platform with eXPrivacy, but it's not generally needed as often on Linux, possibly because Linux tends to be more stable than at least 9x MS used to be (I've no current experience with MS since I couldn't even run it now, given I couldn't agree to the EULA giving me permission to do so). I believe what happened is that somehow the variable that kde set to tell the gtk apps what kde-authored gtkrc to use, somehow got unset, so the gtk apps returned to defaults. Toggling the option off and back on (with applies in between) caused kde to reset the variable and/or recreate the file it pointed to, and gtk apps started after that came up with the kde colors I had configured. I run pretty much every newest kde that comes out, including the beta and rc pre-releases, so I've done a lot of kde upgrades since the late 4.2 era when I first switched from kde3, and I've only had gtk apps lose their kde color settings about twice in those now nearing four years, and I'm not /sure/ it was due to an upgrade in /those/ cases, so it definitely doesn't happen with /every/ upgrade, but I /have/ seen it about twice, so it /does/ happen, and each time, a quick toggle/apply/ toggle/apply to that setting reset things appropriately. So hopefully there's something similar you can toggle in qt-curve, and hopefully it has a similar effect. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

[kde] QtCurve customizations do not apply to GTK applications after update to 4.9.1
Hello, I've just updated KDE to 4.9.1 and now GTK applications do not look like KDE applications anymore. I use QtCurve with a number of customizations and have configured it to be used for GTK applications in System Settings -> Appearance -> GTK Appearance. Before the update, the GTK applications displayed menus, widgets, buttons, etc. just like the ones in KDE applications, with all the customizations I had applied to QtCurve. However, after the update, GTK applications look like they are using Oxygen. I think that is the default appearance of QtCurve and that my customizations are being ignored for GTK applications. Any hint on how to make GTK applications look like KDE applications again (other than removing my QtCurve customizations to make KDE applications use the oxygen-like style, of course :) ) Thanks, Marcelo ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.
