I can confirm that this doesnt work... it doesnt find any theme...

It worked fine for me. I had polymer installed in addition to the basic qt themes, and they all showed up.

Re: KDE apps - Kcontrol center or KDE settings

You can edit ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and ~/.qt/qtrc (widgetStyle and style respectively), also setup your fonts there... and for your color scheme you will need to copy the settings from your kcsrc into kdeglobals.

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Re: KDE apps - Kcontrol center or KDE settings

I solved the problem with amarok's fonts by adding this section (took it from my other installed distro) to my ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

[General]
XftAntialias=true
desktopFont=Sans Serif,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
fixed=Monospace,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
font=Sans Serif,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
menuFont=Sans Serif,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
smallestReadableFont=Sans Serif,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
toolBarFont=Sans Serif,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
widgetStyle=oxygen

Just change the font name and the size (first number after the name) to your liking.

Re: KDE apps - Kcontrol center or KDE settings

anrxc and hysy thank a lot. This is working flawlessly. BTW I use DejaVu Sans Book font which has given me better results.

[General]
XftAntialias=true
desktopFont=DejaVu Sans Book,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
fixed=Monospace,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
font=DejaVa Sans Book,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
menuFont=DejaVu Sans Book,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
smallestReadableFont=DejaVu Sans Book,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
toolBarFont=DejaVu Sans Book,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
widgetStyle=oxygen

Thanks again
