Make your GTK apps look good on KDE

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Bhaskar Kandiyal

Hello everyone, Happy new year! I know I’m a little late, but oh well, better late than never :P OK, back to business. If you run KDE you probably know that GTK applications don’t look good on it, yup I’m talking about Firefox or Gimp looking fugly and you trying out endless Qt like themes for Firefox and Gnome to make GTK apps look decent. Well, here’s some good news, there’s a new GTK engine that greatly resembles the native Qt look and makes your GTK applications look respectable on your KDE desktop.

How To Download Ubuntu 9.10 With Zsync

Posted on October 29, 2009 by Bhaskar Kandiyal
So, Ubuntu 9.10 codenamed ‘Karmic Koala’ is out! And if you’re thinking of downloading the iso, you must’ve noticed that the servers are really slow (well, at least for me).
