How to install QtCurve 'tar.gz' theme in Kubuntu 12.04?

Question

I have downloaded this theme from kde-look.

How I can install it? I copied the uncompressed files to ~.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/ but it doesn't work.

Solution 1

~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/ [This path is for Plasma Themes]

Your theme is a QT curve style, go to System Settings > Application Appearance > Style then where it says Widget Style, select qtcurve from the dropdown list, then click apply. You can import your qtcurve theme and configure it by clicking on the "Configure" button next it.

You must install QTcurve first with sudo apt-get install qtcurve.

Solution 2

Click on system ---> preferencence ---> appearance drag'n'drop into this window and then click on customize and select the theme you have copied before. from http://ubuntuforums.org

I see that the Theme you want is a QT curve style, you choose those in the KDE system settings>appearence>colors.

[Stefan Luv]

Yes, but nothing in color styles, only default system schemas

in application appearance > style only have to set graphic styles (oxigen,cleanlooks,etc ) and a demo of the selected style

Do you have qtcurve installed?
