[SOLVED] - Twinkle: why its look is pretty ugly?

I think the best sip program on archlinux it's Twinkle (unfortunately, ekiga sucks ). Leaving the fact that in the extra repo there is an old twinkle version, the application has a very ugly aspect. Do you know a way to improve the appareance, just like on the twinkle site?
I know the program requires Qt libs (3.3.0 or later, but not Qt4).

Try qtconfig and select a different theme.

I tried but I don't think qtconfig can help, it is for the new Qt4 version.

Any other tips?

you should try /opt/bin/qtconfig , that's the utility to config qt3 themes. you can also try to install polymer pkg from community, it's a nice theme.

[garret@desktop ~]$ /opt/bin/qtconfig
bash: /opt/bin/qtconfig: No such file or directory

I installed polymer, but restarting twinkle it's always the same

oops, my fault, the right path is /opt/qt/bin/qtconfig

Ok it worked, but I don't see this polymer theme in qtconfig...

The last screenshot is pretty much Qt 3 though.

Yes, but better than the first version

Last time I used polymer I had the same problem, it needs to be recompiled since qt3 have been updated a while ago, so just pick up the PKGBUILD with abs and run makepkg.

Off topic but Garret did you use/used the Gentoo forums? I remember someone there having almost the exactly same avatar as you do.
