First you need the KDE's "System settings" application by installing systemsettings Install systemsettings from the Software Center.

Search the dash for System settings and launch it . Then make the following changes:

  • under Style → Applications → Widget style, select GTK+
  • under Colors, select the colours to match your GTK theme or download the Ambiance colour scheme .
  • under Icons → Theme, select the icon theme you are using in GTK apps
  • under Fonts select "Ubuntu", size 11

Shouldn't be that configuration default in ubuntu? It would look much better, and less uncompatible. Any reason why it's not default? – Rafał Cieślak Feb 4 '11 at 17:37

It's probably better to suggest installing the QT-4 configurator instead of the KDE Systemsettings manager - since the QT configurator does the same job for this case and has less dependencies. – RolandiXor♦ Apr 17 '11 at 23:29
