While I'm a KDE user, I still use some Gnome appliciations or other applications with a GTK interface (the gimp, synaptic, firefox and thunderbird for example). Their default skin when running under KDE (on my Kubuntu Linux system) was a bit ugly in my humble opinion, not to say it felt like motif uglyness.
Logging in under Gnome and changing the theme there didn't change it under KDE. The solution was/is gtk-theme-switch2. This little program lets you preview and set GTK-2.x themes so your GTK/Gnome applications have a nice skin under KDE. Get it through your distribution's package system, it should be there. Under Gentoo I had to emerge gtk-chtheme.
You can download themes from art.gnome.org and www.gnome-look.org.
Changing the theme of GTK/Gnome applications under KDE
I like the humor that's going on there! It makes technical stuffs appear as if it's fun and easy to learn, which by all truth is not. Well at least for me that is. I am wondering, does this theme switching method still applicable nowadays provided that someone is under usage of KDE and opts to log in under Gnome applications with a GTK interface?

Hi,
This was written a couple of years ago and I don't know if it's still applicable. I'm not doing a lot of linux desktop stuff anymore (mostly command line) and when I do, it's just in a Gnome desktop.
