hello there,

after time, came thread.

must in linux desktop end user?
- apps show same interface

so, happens if want use kde apps in gnome or viceversa? apps not match desktop. i've seen easier solve in kde, more difficult solve in gnome.

first thing find icon set, both. oxygen , oxygnome, whatever has same icons toolbars, desktop, dialogs,... not easy. kde art developers care kde, gnome same gnome.

qt3 settings , qt4 settings must, though never found them useful.

font rendering differs lot in both. need install kde control center in gnome use same font , preferences kde apps use in gnome. problem apps rely on qt3, qcad.

tried qt4 settings kde 4.x stock apps , nothing seemed change, better have kde control center , set there appearance settings kde apps. needs same window , window control engine in both, controls identical. have not found yet. thought freedesktop.org have this, still have not found i've been looking for.

stay tunned more.
go sleep now, tired , 5:40 in morning.

regards,
xermán
