Default look of gtk applications such as iceweasel is ugly, how can I change gtk applications to look like kde native?

For KDE3: Make sure you have the package gtk-qt-engine
(or gtk-qt-engine-kde4
in case of an older Debian) installed on your system. Open kcontrol
and go to "Appearance & Themes"->"GTK Styles and Fonts". Under "GTK Styles" select "Use another style" and chose "Clearlooks".
I suppose it's similar for KDE4. Just have a look at system-settings
.

This if the first topic that pops up when you ask stackoverflow.com about "kde gtk", so I'll write my answer here, even though its an old thread.
gkt-qt-engine
seems no longer available for some linux distros, and it only handles GTK2 themes as far as i know. GTK3 applications need a package called kde-gtk-config
to set their theme, I couldn't find this package for Ubuntu either but you can build it from the source (https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/kde-gtk-config/repository).
What you need (for ubuntu and possibly other debian based distros):
kde-workspace-dev
on ubuntu)libgtk2.0-dev
on ubuntu)libgtk-3-dev
on ubuntu)On ubuntu you can install them with:
apt-get install g++ git cmake make kde-workspace-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev
You need to download the source with git. To do this go to the folder you want to download it, and write:
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kde-gtk-config
This will download it to the the kde-gtk config directory. Now to build it, you type
cd kde-gtk-config
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr" ..
make
And finally to install and use it
make install
Keep the build directory and if you ever want to remove it just go there and type make uninstall
. You may have to relog before you can see the changes in System Settings -> Application Appearance. If everything went well now you have a Gtk Configuration tab.

for example to use oxy-white:
su
cd /usr/share/icons
mv oxy-black oxy-black.bak
ln -s oxy-white oxy-black
K -> computer -> system settings -> keyboard & mouse -> mouse -> cursor theme -> oxygen white -> apply
sorry, forgot to mention im running debian 6.0 wheezy, kde4.<br> im looking in System Setting -> Appeareance -> don't see anything related to that :( – None – 2011-04-25T10:40:49.647
