HOWTO: Making QT apps on GNOME less ugly

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

On Fedora GNOME installation, QT applications by default, look darned fugly. This is because there are no settings that point the QT apps to the correct style and themes. Solving this is easy:

First,
yum install kdebase kdeartwork

Then,
kcontrol

Open ``Appearance and Themes > Style`` and change your KDE style to one with better looks, apply and save it.

Done.
