How to theme up KDE?












1















I just installed KDE and I like it very much and have themed it up a bit.
My laptop



Like all that lightblue design, but how do I change the theme for GNOME applications like nautilus or marlin? and also how do I change the gray color of kmess and Chromium and many other apps?



I installed kde with this command



sudo apt-get install kde-full

Oxygen widget theme for GTK+/GTK3-based applications



The Kubuntu /1/ is using the gtk2-engines-oxygen /2/ and the gtk3-engines-oxygen /3/ as part of the desktop.



If you don't want to use the Kubuntu desktop you could install the gtk2/gtk3 engines.



Installing KDE



By the Ubuntu community wiki - Installing KDE /4/:




If you choose to not install kubuntu-desktop, then you can still get
all the Kubuntu-specific tweaks by installing the
kubuntu-default-settings package.

Other options:




  • kde-gtk-config: https://launchpad.net/kde-gtk-config


PPA package search: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
=> A PPA: https://launchpad.net/~hrvojes/+archive/kde-goodies
