How to make kde 3.5 look just like in Kubuntu

Hello,
i really like the kubuntu 8.04 or earlier releases kde 3.5 interface. but i dont like the default kde 3.5 look, it looks unpolished and ugly to me, while kubuntu with kde 3.5 looked just awesome to me. is there any way to make kdemod 3.5 look like kubuntu 8.04? thank you
p.s. i know this is a bit crazy question.

well, i know the top window bar-thing is called "crystal", which you can probably find on kde-look.org either as a native theme or an emerald theme.  is uses the default "plastik" style i believe, and the kickoff menu i'm not really sure, you might want to ask around in the ubuntu forums.  also the amarok theme is uses (for the left panel) i have not been able to find anywhere exept 8.04.

Re: How to make kde 3.5 look just like in Kubuntu

im done, but theres one annoying problem, and i dont know how to fix it. since kubuntu panel icons are 22x22, so i did 22x22 to my kdemod3, but theres problem that icons are blurry now. in kubuntu 22x22 icons looks nice, but in arch 22x2 icons are blurry. i tried to copy hicolor and crystalsvg from kubuntu but it didnt fix the problem. please help because its the last step to make my kdemod3 look like kubuntu's kde.

Would you mind sharing how you got the kickoof to look like that, and maybe whatever else you've done to achieve the 8.04 look? I used to use Kubuntu 8.04 before Arch, it would be nice to get that look back.  Also, is kdemod3 working well for you? i havent used it in a while (ive been using Gnome) and i might consider it again, but i know kde3 is being phased out rapidly. about your icons  i am sorry i do not know how to fix this, maybe find and use a similar icon set from kde-look.org, you can probably find the one you want also.

Re: How to make kde 3.5 look just like in Kubuntu

its easy, boot from kubuntu live cd, find kubuntu-default-settings it should be in /usr/share and then the kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/all folder contents copy to arch's /opt/kde/share or whatever. you must find and overwrite files from kubuntu-default-settings to /opt/kde/share.
though i still cant find solution to blurry icons sad
