x11-themes/gtk-engines-kde4 is a great new way to make GTK applications look good in KDE4.

Actulay we had this ebuild in overlay too. But i removed it because of various issues. Use gtk-themes-qt as replacement.
Comment 4 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-11 10:53:49 UTC
ahem gtk-engines-qt...
Comment 5 Marek Sapota 2008-10-11 12:16:24 UTC
gtk-engines-qt is just very different, and I've tried it several times before - it didn't do well. gtk-engines-kde4 is different approach, it let's you use native GNOME themes which works and looks well. Can you elaborate what issues did you have with this package?
Comment 6 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-11 21:31:50 UTC
Well we even used -0.8b and it was failing for some apps. specially for firefox. it crashed.... :(
If there will be new version working better we might really rething this
Comment 7 Marek Sapota 2008-10-12 11:48:01 UTC
Strange as I've used 0.8b (now I use 0.7) and never experienced any crashes, nor firefox nor any other GTK app. I've only used the official GNOME themes (mostly clearlooks) not x11-themes/gtk-kde4-theme.
Comment 9 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-15 14:51:22 UTC
Good news for you, I just added gtk-engines-kde4 back to overlay.
So test and report issues.

Ebuild originally from kdesvn overlay, works for me.

Mark as obsolete since newer version is already in kde-testing overlay
Comment 11 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-15 21:09:05 UTC
See comment #9.
Comment 12 Marek Sapota 2008-10-19 14:46:07 UTC
Package works, no crashes and GTK apps look beautiful as they should with clearlooks theme=)
Comment 13 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-30 21:11:09 UTC
bugs for packages in overlay should NOT be marked as later :]

Bugs should be marked as fixed when added to main tree. :]
Comment 14 Michel Lang 2009-09-09 17:10:28 UTC
As gtk-engines-qt breaks mozilla-firefox-3.5* (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277726) it would be really great to push gtk-engines-kde4 into portage ASAP. 

I'm using gtk-engines-kde4-0.9e w/o problems on x86.
Comment 15 Jaak Ristioja 2009-10-10 10:05:11 UTC
 * Messages for package kde-base/systemsettings-4.3.2:

 * If you want to use GTK integration then we recommend you to try
 * one of the following packages:                                 
 *     x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt                                  
 *     x11-themes/gtk-engines-kde4                                
 *     x11-themes/qtcurve-qt4

But there's no gtk-engines-kde4 in portage!

in portage

Reopen & removed. It's not usable at all.

How come? I've been using it for a long time without problems.

1. Install it, switch to it, with e.g. gtk-chtheme
2. Run e.g. Firefox, everything seems working (but ugly)
3. Close Firefox and start gtk-chtheme again to switch to e.g. gtk-engines-qt
4. Start Firefox again and watch how your Text in GTK+ widgets won't show anymore, and all icons are overlapping.

"Solved" by: find ~/ -name '.gtkrc-2.0' -delete

Wouldn't call that usable if it breaks so easily.

Why did not you masked it before removal? It would give chance to people which are dependent on it to move it to their local overlay to have some time to test, install, uninstall, and find some other solution for them In more convenient way.

What about removing gtk-engines-qt as well, as slots :1 and :2 does not work together and switching between KDE 3.5 and KDE4 is not possible :( You are forcing people to throw out KDE3 and use unstable KDE4 or what? Please don't remove packages which people use without saying next time :(((
