Hi Charles, I also share lots of mixed gtk and qt apps.
Since I like more the QT approach (generally), what I do is to chose the same theme for gtk and qt. Currently, I use qtcurve in KDE's system settings and then I select also qtcurve in gtk-chtheme. That's it! for the gnome-e16 thing...i can't help you, sorry =( 2011/6/2 Don Harrop <[email protected]> > I've just recently started exploring E17, although I've been an > enlightenment fan since '99. > > I'm not sure I entirely agree with your 'super dated' comment about > e16.
