I have kde3.1 and am using a kde 3.0 theme, everything is themes except what I think is gtk, how can i theme this, i left an image to show you what is not themed

Maybe find a Gnome version of the theme and set it up in Gnome, then return to using KDE?

you'd need to use the gnome control center, or just manually copy the relevant gtkrc file from the theme you want to ~/.gtkrc.

if you don't want all of gnome to be used, you can use a third party app such as http://www.muhri.net/nav.php3?node=gts

i tried that little switching program, but it didn't work. I got these errors in the terminal it was running in as I changed the themes and hit apply.

[bane@localhost gtk-theme-switch-1.0.1]$ ./switch

is there any way to themes gtk w/o gnome?

*bump*

Seems you havent installed libgdk which it depends on.
Dont you have GNOME just to do this?

thanx, i just needed to install this
gdk-pixbuf-0.8.0-4.i686.rpm

You could have used something like KPackage to search your database of rpms to find the libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 file within any. I suspect this feature is available via the command line too, and in web-based rpm finders.
