Making Krusader Look Like Linux Mint Mate?

[Steve]

Hi,

I am using Linux Mint 13 Mate.

I installed Krusader Version 2.4.0-beta1 "Migration"

Is there a color scheme or theme somewhere I can download to make the
colors blend in more with the desktop?

Hi,

You can use KDE System Settings ("application Appearance" -> "Colors"
-> "Download New Schemes") to choose the most appropriate scheme for
all KDE application windows (Krusader uses the common KDE scheme).

Or you can install QtCurve and use the GNOME color scheme for all KDE windows.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri

Hi Yuri,

I don't have that menu path in my copy of Krusader. I am using the
GNOME Mate desktop that comes with Mint 13. Krusader is the only KDE/
QT app I have. I installed QTCurve via the synaptic package
manager. Is that a theme or an app? What do I do to get it to
change Krusaders appearance ( mostly folder colors ).

Thanks for the tips!

Steve

The color preferences are saved in KDE configuration files
(~/.kde/share/config). There is no common way to edit them manually.
So I propose you to do as follows

1. Install "systemsettings" package and its dependencies (temporarily!)
2. Run "systemsettings" from the menu or console.
3. Choose "Application Appearance".
4. Choose "Colors".
5. Choose the corresponding GNOME-like color scheme
6. Choose QtCurve theme with a GNOME-icons if you like.
7. Uninstall "systemsettings" package and its orphans.

It's GNOME/KDE theme manager and a set of themes designed to give a
conform appearance of both GTK+- and Qt-based applications. It allows
you to tweak every aspect of Krusader windows appearance if you want
or just make Krusader looks like a GTK+-application.
