Theming of KDE apps with Gnome DE












2















I'm using Gnome 3 on Arch Linux but I use some KDE applications like Okular.



I would like to make Okular and other KDE applications use a dark theme to match the one I'm using in Gnome.



I noticed that there is a ~/.kde4 folder in home.



How do I go about it?

            I'm on Arch Linux and not Ubuntu. However installing the systemsettings app gives me an error: The module appearance is not a valid configuration module. The desktop file settings-appearance.desktop doesn't specify a library.

          • It's not the installation that gives the error but clicking on the appearance link in the running app.
