[SOLVED] gtk-qt-engine does not work

I basically no long use GNOME but I do use a few GTK apps such as Pidgin and Firefox (thats GTK right?). Anyways they look like total crap in KDE and I'd rather not start gnome-theme-manager everyday just to theme them right.

I installed gtk-qt-engine in the hopes that it would theme my GTK apps to look like my KDE theme ...

As you can see there, I have it enabled (I think), but Pidgin in the background is not themed like it should be o_O.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] gtk-qt-engine does not work

gtk-qt-engine is a bit broken, at least that is how it feels. A workaround for your problem is set in kde control center a gtk style for your gtk apps (same place where you tell to use gtk-qt-engine). After this, start a gtk application, it has a normal gtk style now. Close the gtk app, go back to control center and choose use qt theme for gtk apps at that place (dunno how it is exactly called, I'm not in kde atm). Now it should apply your qt theme to gtk apps.

Yeah ok, I did a restart of all my apps after enabling it again, that worked. Thanks.
