QGtk style

by Clair on May 23rd, 2008

I have been swamped with work lately and I have not been able to test new technologies or apps lately. But there’s this thing I am curious about: QGtkStyle. I’ve tried some apps on Ubuntu before and they looked a bit ‘off’ because Ubuntu uses Gnome by default and Qt apps look weird. One of the Qt apps I’ve used before was the Last.fm client and the Skype client. I should probably install that sometime next week when I am a bit free.

The screenshots look fantastic and quite consistent. I am not into really fantastic UI themes so I don’t use Beryl and others. Just plain Gnome (or Openbox sometimes) so I think I shouldn’t have much troubles when I try it out next week.

Edit: Hrm, I was wrong in calling Beryl a theme, that’s true. I was careless but I just hope that I got emailed about it and not reading it in a rant. I wouldn’t mind getting educated and corrected. :) Beryl isn’t a theme. It’s a window manager. And I am regret to post that I don’t prefer it over the others. And that makes me biased, in a way, hence the carelessness of lumping it with the other themes I know of.
