<question>
<para>How can I configure the style and fonts of <acronym>GTK</acronym>
applications within &kde; ?
</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
The simplest way to achieve this is to download and compile the
<acronym>gtk-qt</acronym> theme engine from <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt">
http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt</ulink>. This theme engine makes
your <acronym>GTK</acronym> applications look like your &kde; widget style
by calling functions from &Qt; instead of drawing the styles itself. Once
the theme engine has been installed, there will be a &kcontrolcenter; module
under <menuchoice><guimenu>Appearance &amp; Themes</guimenu><guimenuitem>GTK
Styles and Fonts</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.

<question>
<para>I have been hearing about this gecko kpart or &Qt; Mozilla, how do I
get these?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Good luck! The &Qt; Mozilla code is in Mozilla cvs, and not very stable as
of yet. In order to use it, you'll have to check out Mozilla from cvs
according to these instructions:
<ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html">
http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html</ulink>. Then, configure either the Mozilla
suite or the Firefox browser with the option
<command>--enable-default-toolkit=qt</command> in addition to any other
options you would like to enable. More instructions on building Mozilla can
be found <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/build">here</ulink>.
