Hello ! Are you able to port this to GTK3 so GTK-KDE4 will help us unify Qt4 and GTK3 apps appearance. Thank you very much !

gravy

I second this! Would be really really nice to see my current theme on all GTK apps! Compliance is almost there too...

starbuck

Try this for easy setup of both GTK2 and GTK3: http://www.netrunner-os.com/gtk2-gtk3-configuration-under-kde/

DDZ

OK, thanks!

starbuck

You're welcome! :)

adaptee

could it be named as something more converntial, such as gtk-kde4-0.9.4.tar.gz, instead of this weird gtk-kde4(src)0.9.4.tar.gz ? That would make packager's work a bit easier.

repsakkgn2

yep. after upgrade gtk-kde4 doesn't work. That's bad, yea..

Was working before, but now strangely after a power outage, it no longer works. I'm using KDE-4.6 so i'm guessing it might be related (still strange though that it was working but no more).

AdaMin

Hi, that's me again, with my beautyful english! If i run a Program by script at autostart, or after some longer scripts, there is no gtk-Theme any more. If i restart them from the Menu, everything works again. Have a nice Day! Bye!

After adding oxygencursors (0.0.2010-05-10-kde4.4.3-1ubuntu1) maverick, i had to run "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" to change both Themes (for KDE and GTK). I had also reconfigure the Theme Settings for gtk, because my windows were without any (gtk)Theme after changing the Cursor-theme.

AdaMin

Hi! Works fine on my Kubuntu 10.10 , 64 Bit ;) I think also, it would be good to have a 64 Bit Version, if it's possible to you. Anyway i compiled it, made checkinstall, everything (symlinks.sh too) works fine! (No bug till now, i had a lot of Problems with the older Versions) Thank you!

AdaMin

P.S. (Source code 0.9.5b (114 kb)) Version

Apoclypse

smiedmeu

Headcrabby

Hello! I desperately need a 64bit Ubuntu 10.04 verion. I have no idea how to correctly compile this by myself. Is there anywhere a working deb file for my purpose? Or a ppa with 64bit support? thx for any help, piedro

piedro

Hi! Plz couls anyone provide a link for a lucid lynx 64bit package? I don't know how to compile this. thx for your help, piedro

itsjustarumour2

Hi, Please can you also provide .RPM packages for Fedora!

itsjustarumour2

(as can't get this to compile on Fedora 13...)

itsjustarumour2

This is what I get btw: [root@COOLERMASTER gtk-kde4]# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/share/kde4 -- The CXX compiler identification is unknown CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:98 (MESSAGE): ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /root/.kde/share/apps;/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:3 (FIND_PACKAGE) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! [root@COOLERMASTER gtk-kde4]#

Apoclypse

I'm not really sure, but check if you have g++, gcc, cmake installed. Because I have no Fedora and even no experience in making *.rpm packages I can't help you anyhow

itsjustarumour2

Hi, Thanks for the message. Cmake is definitely installed, but I'll check the other bits! Cheers, itsjustarumour :)

Apoclypse

Yeah and there is some *.rpm packages for other distros, not sure if they suitable for you, but try googling "gtk-kde4".
