Installing the KDE oxygen theme without installing kdebase-runtime

Hi,
My Qt apps look ugly on awesome wm. Is it possible to install oxygen without installing all the other kde dependencies ?

Hmmm... Seems tricky, since it's the default style for KDE. This package in the AUR might help. I don't know if it REALLY depends on "kwin" though.

Actually, I'm surprised you like oxygen at all. I much prefer the alternatives, such as a unified GTK / Qt theme with Zukitwo.

Hi,
Its more of a wanting to keep a consistent look across my gtk and qt apps than actually liking oxygen
I didnt know about zukitwo. I might try it.

The oxygen AUR package needs kwin unfortunately and that too its an aur package

I guess I'll have to just install kdebase-runtime, if zukitwo doesnt work out.

Use oxygen-kde4-git for kde4 apps
