GTK-apps still are ugly as hell

[dusdus]

Hi there,

I've changed some settings in System Settings > Appearance > GTK+ Appearance:
Widget Style: QtCurve
Use my KDE fonts in GTK+ applications

Still it's pretty ugly... (see attachment)

I've installed kubuntu, using the kde-minimal meta-package and build up from there.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

It does not seem to be taking effect. Did you log out and back in?

[dusdus]

yup I did.

Just to be sure, I removed kcm-gtk, reinstalled it, changed the settings back as in my first post, logged out, logged back in, checked:

same.

I remember using kcm-gtk-kde4 a while back, on another installation (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=74689)

but unfortunately I can't get that one installed anymore
(Setting up kcm-gtk-kde4 (0.9.3) ... cd: 2: can't cd to /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/)

Anyway, one way or another, I'd really like to solve this, but simply don't know where to start...

Ok, solved it!

I installed the package kcm-gtk-kde4 from source and now it looks awesome!

YAY!

Excellent, enjoy.

Just curious, why'd you build it up from the ground instead of using the default theme?
