Like all that lightblue design, but how do i change the theme for gnome applications like nautilus or marlin? and also how do i change the gray color of kmess and chromium and many other apps?

sudo apt-get install kde-full

Are you trying to make GNOME Applications Look Like KDE Applications? – Mitch♦ May 31 '12 at 15:38

Oxygen widget theme for GTK+/GTK3-based applications

The Kubuntu /1/ is using the gtk2-engines-oxygen /2/ and the gtk3-engines-oxygen /3/ as part of the desktop.

If you don't want to use the Kubuntu desktop you could install the gtk2/gtk3 engines.

Installing KDE

By the Ubuntu community wiki - Installing KDE /4/:

If you choose to not install kubuntu-desktop, then you can still get all the Kubuntu-specific tweaks by installing the kubuntu-default-settings package.

In-order to change the theme for gnome applications, See this site

use this if you like to use KDE but still keep the GNOME applications.

Let me know if that what you`re looking for.
