Re: Quanta rocks....

As far as the appearance difference goes, simply run the qtconfig binary in your qt directory (eg, /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qtconfig) and change the QT style to whatever you're using in KDE. All of my QT apps look like Keramik, for example. This doesn't solve the file selector dialog issue, but at least everyone is using the same widgets.

IMHO, KDE should do this automatically.... or at least have yet-another-checkbox for it :)

Hmm? That's supposed to happen automatically.. The one reason for it not happening I can think of is if you're using KDE3.0.x with Qt3.1.x. Which isn't really supported...

It does happen

Yeah, my Opera is using my KDE style without me doing anything.
Although it's alot better, it'd be really cool if Qt apps could
know what platform they were running on and attempt to use the
system file dialogs before defaulting to the Qt version...or what
would be easier is if KDE hijacked Qt calls with it's own calls
(i.e. if KDE shipped a modified Qt library that would call KDE file
dialogs instead of Qt file dialogs)

I know it sounds pathetic to be basing things on the look of the
dialogs and icons, but I just can't get accustomed to using Opera
or theKompany's Studio. Konqueror and KDevelop feel so good.
