Hi guys
I really don't know if it is the right question to ask but I have read about how to make the look of kde similar to unity
I think that in order to do that you need to download a bunch of themes and extract it to /.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/ folder.
How to do it, what to do first and what to do next
I need some guideness
Thank you

Why you don't simply install Ubuntu Unity?

This. Just install Unity, log out, choose it from the Sessions menu, log in. ;)

This Youtube video -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQPrMiqnXw8&index=3&list=PLzZ0JczEkZfkfVCH66GQ0nMktB8wUUqv4 -- is a good resource.

FYI: Themes, window decorations, etc., can be browsed, downloaded and installed from within the appropriate widget in System Settings.

And you can install the rosa launcher or homerun to imitate the dash (just the look without the function). I think homerun has a ppa for Kubuntu, not sure about rosa.

You've seen http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Unity+Ambiance?content=159937 ? Right-click on the archive file you downloaded, 'Extract to..' and enter /.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/
Logout and log back in and the theme should appear in System Settings.

There's also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQPrMiqnXw8 but I haven't watched it myself.
