hello there and thank you for your information – I’ve definitely picked up anything new from right here. I did however expertise some technical points using this web site, as I experienced to reload the website many times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK? Not that I am complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your high-quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I’m adding this RSS to my email and could look out for a lot more of your respective interesting content. Ensure that you update this again very soon..

Actually, Qt 4 in Fedora is patched to look for QGtkStyle first when running under GNOME, and fall back to QCleanlooksStyle if the qgtkstyle package is not installed.

Delete ~/.config/kde.org/kcontrol.conf to get rid of all KDE 4′s settings for Qt-4-only apps.

@twilightomni Thank you so much for your suggestions. I don’t like KDE, GNOME is my default and favourite desktop environment. That’s why I dislike the KDE native look in Gnome desktop.

I’ve followed Panagiotis’ suggest and configured to “GTK” style. It looks perfect as shown on the first image now…

It is worth nothing that your Qwit _did not_ have the default GTK look. Check closely at your first screenshot. It doesn’t match your desktop.

Your GNOME desktop is running Fedora’s default Nodoka theme, while Qwit is using the Qt-Cleanlooks theme. They’re close (and a very reasonable default for Qt), but not the same.

If Qt doesn’t have a style set, it uses Qt-Cleanlooks by default. When you went into KDE, it set the style to whatever KDE uses, and that took over. By running Qtconfig-Qt4, you set the style to something better, like QGtkStyle.

It’s worth noting that I believe KDE will override Qt4′s theme configuration. If so, you should set the same style in both Qtconfig-Qt4 _AND_ in KDE’s control center. (If you keep using KDE, that is).

@Panagiotis Prokopiou Yes, you are correct! I installed these two RPMs here http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/qgtkstyle/0.0/0.2.20080719svn693.fc9/i386/ . And just press Alt+F2, and inputed “qtconfig-qt4″ and clicked “Run”, after that, changed the GTK Style to GTK, saved this change, and run Qwit again, the GNOME native look of Qwit back!

Thank you so much again!

Is it possible this to be the reason ?
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/qgtkstyle/0.0/

if so, run qtconfig and select gtk style
