Integrating Qt apps on Gnome desktop

We all know that not all apps that you find on gnome may satisfy all your needs, a good example is Scribus. This app has no decent gnome equivalent, and hence a Qt integration will be quite useful. So I dug some stuff up and came up with a simple method for this integration;

install qt3-qtconfig using either yumex if on Fedora, or synaptic on Ubuntu

Then run qtconfig from the commandline.

Click the tune palette button, and make sure you adjust the Base, Background & Button colors to R: 237, G: 233, B: 227. Click OK, and do File, Save and close ‘qtconfig’. If you now restart Scribus you’ll notice it’s still not pretty, but it’s more tolerable now.

Qt4 will incoporate the cleanlooks theme, which make things better.

  1. Just one question, is the same thing possible to be applied on other Qt apps?
