[Solved] ugly theme in some apps

Hi
I have install arch along with kde. In some apps like firefox, trnasmission etc. the application interface is ugly so I installed oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3 but none of them are appearing in system-setting. I haven't use gnome much but I think this ugly appearence of some apps is due to missing gtk style. Am I right? How can I fix it?
Regards

Re: [Solved] ugly theme in some apps

Firefox is a GTK2 application and Transmission is a GTK3 application. Themes for both toolkits can easily changed by editing the configuration files for GTK2 and GTK3. (See here)

Also, see here for more information on configuring Oxygen in KDE.

Lastly, isn't there a checkbox in "System Settings" (a KDE application) that says something like "Manange themes for other toolkits"? Do you have that enabled?
