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

  69 The last time I looked at mozilla CVS, the QT toolkit had been removed.

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