QGTKStyle : Make QT apps uses your GTK style

-
I'm a GNOME user (was a KDE user 4 years ago), but sometimes I had to use QT apps on GNOME. QT styles/widgets, ever since from QT3/KDE3, for some reasons, always a pain to my eyes (too shiny I guess). Quite some time ago, I heard about a project started to provide the reverse of gtk-qt-engine , which to make QT apps, uses GTK styles. The project is called, QGTKStyle. But that time, it was in infant stage, so I didn't get to run it.

Last night, while browsing the package list, I just noticed qgtkstyle in Fedora repo (dont know how long its been there, but anyway, YAY!!), installed it, and heres the result:

Before:



After:




Heres a guide on how to do it on Fedora 10:

Install the required stuff: qgtkstyle and kdebase-workspace (you'll need this to configure KDE4 apps to use GTK style.)

After installation, launch /usr/bin/systemsettings. At the appearance page, change style to GTK. Done. :D

(Edit: you may want to adjust the font settings and the mouse cursor settings to match your GNOME theme)

Couldn't you just use qtconfig-qt4 from the qt package?

@dextro,

I've tried that, apparently it does not work for KDE4 apps

I've installed qgtkstyle but I don't want to install a bulk of KDE stuff just to run a simple command (/usr/bin/systemsetting). I bet the systemsetting will save its information somewhere on the filesystem. If you could find it, it'd be great!

Adding simple popup to Plone frontpage

-
Here is a little guide for those who want to add a simple popup to the Plone frontpage for some purpose (eg: announcements, advertisements, etc). Create a basic html file containing the content you want to appear in the popup. Upload it into $PLONE_SITE/portal_skins/custom (as Page Template) and for the sake of this example, name it popup.html Afterward, create a Javascript file with your Pop-Up loader script. For example , this script: function popup(mylink, windowname) { if (! window.focus)return true; var href; if (typeof(mylink) == 'string') href=mylink; else href=mylink.href; window.open(href, windowname, 'width=220,height=400,scrollbars=no'); return false; }; popup('popup.html', 'My Popup'); Also upload this file into $PLONE_SITE/portal_skins/custom (as Page Template too). For this example, name it as popup.js Afterward, in $PLONE_SITE/portal_javascripts , add popup.js as a new s

An Open Letter for the Rector of PETRONAS University of Technology

DISCLAIMER: THIS OPEN LETTER IS MY OWN OPINION, FROM MY OWN POINT OF VIEW OF LOOKING AT THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN UTP. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT UTP STUDENTS AS A WHOLE, NEITHER IT TRIES TO REPRESENT THEM. SOME MIGHT NOT AGREE, SOME MIGHT, BUT I BELIEVE THOSE WHO LIVED DURING THE TRADITIONAL LEGACY OF UTPCHAT AND THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY ONCE SURROUNDING UTPCHAT AND GRAPEVINE WOULD AGREE TO SOME, IF NOT ALL, OF MY POINTS BELOW. Dear Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Haji Kasim, I am Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail (ID 7857), an ICT student in UTP from batch Jan2005, and also one of the active UTPchat IRCOperators. I am writing this because I feel like UTP action of forcing UTPchat to it knees several semesters ago is giving a bad impact on community life in UTP. A bad impact which caused UTP to waste the potential of the (so-called) 'cream de la cream' which UTP have grabbed early after their SPM examination. UTPchat IRC Network, existed originally around more than 10 years
