Re: [MLUG] Torvalds: "Use KDE"

[Phillip Kelchen <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Actually, they can be made to look the same in Gnome as they can in KDE by fiddling with the GTK app appearance/font control in KDE 3.5.0. That is pretty slick and is why I'm going back to KDE as this was the only reason I switched from KDE to begin with.

But in KDE <= 3.4, there is no such control and the GTK apps are unthemed- the buttons and such look like stock X11 interfaces. The fonts are also very small and look quite bad. It looks pretty cruddy in all.
