Button ugliness and KDE integration

RedNovember · 03-09-2006, 11:04 PM

All of my buttons have a crude beveled look to them, and I would like to change this to something more in line with KDE. OpenOffice also insists on using its own Open/Save dialogs and not KDE's. I believe there is a package that I could install to fix this, but I forget the name. Any help?

The OpenOffice / KDE integration project is at http://kde.openoffice.org/, but I think it's still stuck at OOo 1.1.something. There's a 2.n package on linuxpackages.net that has KDE menu integration, but still uses OOo's dialogues.

Not entirely clear on your button issue - perhaps you could post a screenshot (say on imageshack.us or similar) to illustrate the problem?

You can use GTK-QT Theme Engine - it won't change the dialogues, but will override buttons, scrollbars, etc on GTK programs and draw them with QT.

When I used SuSE, there was a certain OO-kde package that I used. Is there anything similar for Slack? I'd really like the kde dialogs.

I haven't known gtk-qt to work very well with the current gtk version. All of my menus turned black, and so I stopped using it. Once I removed the gtk-qt, it looked normal, even if all the buttons were ugly. Can't win I guess.
