Java support?

Would that mean? I mean, would that really mean?

Yes, it means Eclipse works! Great day. Great work!

Hi, I just installed Helix Realplayer 10 and I'm using Kde-Look's "Baaghira" theme. "Menubar" of the Realplayer (That's using Gtk) not painting along with the other parts of the window in the current version of the GTK-QT (0.5).

Please note that I didn't get this problem with previous release (0.41) of the GTK-QT/Realplayer 10 Beta 2.

..thank you!
This is a really great piece of software, even though I hardly use any gtk apps having them look like the rest of my desktop is just great.
I'm looking forward for future releases, looks like it will take care of more than just the widget style in future. Keep up the good work!

It's very nice to have GNOME Icons change to KDE ones with gtk-qt - looks far more integrated - at least most of the times, since the icons that remain usually don't fit that well to the lighter KDE ones.

Otherwise it is becoming visibly better and better with every release.

Sure there are still glitches and mis-sized widgets but I'm sure you now about that.

The apps I usually use to test a new release are Synaptic and Evolution - most notable is that the menubars and every context menu doesn't use the correct theme. I'm not sure if they are the GTK style "Geramik" or if they are drawn with QT using the keramik style - but they are definitely not Plastik which is my QT/KDE style of choice.

Same seems to be true for a few buttons. While the "New" Button in Evolution (which has a context menu) uses Plastik the other buttons, like "Send/Receive" which don't have a context menu seem to be using Keramik - they arenot rounded like Plastik but simply flat and squared.

Anyway at places those GTK buttons look a bit weird if skinned with Plastik anyway - which are not real "buttons", more like.. well I don't know...

In QT there seems to be a diffrence between a normal button ("OK", "Cancel") and an Toolbar element (like back ("" Icon)and home (house Icon) buttons - this differenc seems to get lost for GTK apps since toolbar elements are skinned like normal buttons - with the blue higlighting (Plastik) at the top and bottom and all.

I guess nothing can be done about this as this is probably how GTK handles this, but it simpy looks a bit ot at some places.

Other than the Keramik/Geramik instead of Plastik issue I saw that in Evolutions Shortcutbar (the thing to the left that has Inbox, calendar, Tasks and not much more) the background colour of the buttons is a dark grey but the background around the buttons becomes a light grey if I use gtk-qt with Plastik.
Something like this is seen on the little black arrow on the "New" button as well if you highlight it.
probably those things are not meant to allow altering colours - not sure.

Otherwise great software - keep up the good work please!

I'1ve installed 0.5 from both sources and rpm for suse 9.1 but both don't work.
Kcm module works great, but gtk apps dosen't change their themes (I've tryied using gtk themes too)....

Hey,

Well, I've installed the gtk-qt engine (using the Mdk 10 rpm) and it works perfectly within KDE. Unfortunately, once I quit KDE, and attempt to start it again, it hangs (right before the splash screen). The only way around it that I've found is to remove the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 when starting kde.
Is there a trick to this, am I missing something or am I just all screwed up?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
I have installed the lastest version (0.41) on my Suse9.1 under KDE 3.2.3 succesfully. But when I lunch a gtk apllication like gaim, gimp, synaptic gtk-qt-theme-engine seems not to work.

If I try lunching a gtk apps from de terminal, it returns me alaways the same errors. Here are someones: (sorry for the french version, but i'm not sure on how to translate this)

Some kind of translation: Impossible to get the theme engine...

Just checking: do you see the engine in kcontrol?

motorhammer

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Yes I see it in kcontrol, and "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" is selected.

Since I have this great feature installed, I got problems with my Eclipse 3.0 IDE. It crashes when I start it with the enabled theme-engine. With all other programs (gimp, ...) the feature works great!

It looks good, but it won't compile with GCC 3.4.1. Could you please make it GCC 3.4.1 compatible?

I've been wishing for something like this for a long time. It's working pretty much flawlessly for me, with the single exception being that azureus crashes on startup with 'use qt' option enabled, though it will still start if only using qt fonts.

I have mandrake 10 and ./configure, make, make installed it and didn't get any error messages. however, it doesn't seem to do anything cuz i don't find it in the 'style' section of kdle 'configure ur desktop'. i'd like to uninstall this. i'm new to linux so please let me know how i can uninstall it. additionally, i'd like to try it out first if possible so let me know how to run it. (i.e. please let me know the commands to uninstall this program). thanks a bunch!

i used the 0.3 theme which came up with SuSE 9.1.
in the 0.3 version some button labels aren't drawn in certain application (Audacity and Eclipse).
now i updated to 0.41. the button labels have been fixed.
but now the menus have all got a black (?) border, which sometimes look like a brocken pix map. in firefox the menus are black overall.

any ideas ???

This is great and should definitly be included in the kde distribution.

As far as I can see this theme only works for GTK 2 apps. Why?
(i'm not the first asking this question for sure, but i didn't find an answer. this might be worth being mentioned in the description or on the homepage ;)

The kcm also changes the GTK 2 themes, maybe it could be extended to manage GTK 1 themes as well even if there's no GTK-Qt theme for it.

it's too bad, drwight can't not work with it in kde.

I love this - thank you for making such a great service!

All works great except for Firefox, where all menus are have distorted colors, for some odd reason.
