[SOLVED] Make Eclipse ide look better under KDE4

Hi, i've installed Eclipse Luna and the interface looks not very pretty: rectangular gray volumetric shapes, as if i run it on Win98. Is there any way to make it look better? I use KDE4.

Switch to the gtk theme within eclipse and use oxygen-gtk as your gtk engine

Unfortunately when I go General > Appearance > Color Theme, there is no such input for changing theme. By the way I have installed Eclipse Color Theme Plugin.
And I use QtCurve as KDE theme.

Do you have qtcurve-gtk2 installed?

Yes, I have. By the way when i use Oxygen theme in KDE, Eclipse looks better. But not when using QtCurve. Maybe there is some way to use Eclipse with QtCurve theme?

You set the theme in General > Appearance (not in any submenu), and yes follow the instructions in the wiki skunktrader posted to set your global gtk theme correctly
