Plus, there&#8217;s to say that the default KDE theme is really different from the default Human theme in Ubuntu. We&#8217;ll have to work a little on this but we&#8217;ll have really easy steps so don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n<p>First, surely you use some KDE app, so, open one, for example Amarok or maybe K3B. Look at it and open a normal Gnome application, for example the theme selector. Now compare the 2 themes without any manipulation: they couldn&#8217;t be more different from each other. That way, the user has a really bad feeling using a KDE app in GNOME. In KDE it is simple to have a gnome app looking like a KDE one but it is not that simple in the viceversa case which is the one we&#8217;re gong to analyze now.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>1) Installing Kcontrol<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>First of all we&#8217;ll need to install from synaptic or apt kcontrol. This application will let us change the KDE theme used by KDE applications. If you are Italian, I suggest you to install also kde-i18n-it which is the Italian translation for KDE.<br \/>\n<em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>2) Installing and choosing the right Themes<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now download from synaptic two themes: klearlook and polymer.<\/p>\n<p>Press on you keyboard alt+F2 and run kcontrol.  Under Appearance and Themes look for Style and change you KDE theme.<\/p>\n<p>If you use the standard Human Ubuntu theme, then I suggest you to use Polymer. If you use clearlook (Standard Gnome Theme) then of course I suggest you to use Klearlook as your DKE Theme. Here are a pair of screenshots of how Plymer and Klearlook actually look.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lucademarini.com\/thedarkmaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/polymer.jpg?ssl=1\" title=\"Polymer KDE Theme\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thedarkmaster.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/07\/polymer.thumbnail.jpg?w=900\" alt=\"Polymer KDE Theme\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lucademarini.com\/thedarkmaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/klearlook.jpg?ssl=1\" title=\"Klearlook KDE Theme\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thedarkmaster.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/07\/klearlook.thumbnail.jpg?w=900\" alt=\"Klearlook KDE Theme\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>3) Colors, Fonts, Icons&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Very well now, the form of all buttons and bars is now very similar to that of Ubuntu but colors&#8230; well, colors, fonts, icons&#8230;. they are still looking odd.
