    Default QNOME - Another Desktop Environment

    Hi,

    I realy love GNOME but I also love Qt, so I have a BIG idea which is making a GNOME-Like but based on Qt.

    I do not like KDE at all it is not clear like GNOME (for me). So this idea came up.

    I know it is a very very BIG work to do that but it is just an idea and I do not have the abilities to try working on it.

    Thank you

    Cool Re: QNOME - Another Desktop Environment

    I am currently running SUSE 11.1 with both the KDE and GNOME
    systems available. Unfortunately, I did an early upgrade to KDE 4.3 from the SUSE repositories and I also upgraded to Foxfire 3.5.2. Those two are not getting along too well, and Foxfire keeps locking up.

    So...

    I switched to the latest GNOME version and all is well. I am running Qt 4.5.2.1 with GNOME and everything is working in Qt and Firefox is now working properly. I have seen no differences.

    In fact, I do not see a lot of differences between KDE and GNOME. Are you talking about a more GNOME 'look'. For me, at least, QT works ok.

    A question of you about GNOME. I really hate having to double-click to run an application of the desktop. Is there a way to set that to a single click.

    Gary

    Open Nautilus->Edit->Prefs.->Behavious (Singal click to open items)

    Hope this is what you are looking for.

    Yes I am talking about a more GNOME look and feel based on Qt!!

    Thank you

    Try this resource from the Qt Labs site:

    http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/Styles/GtkStyle

    This page now contains not only GtkStyle but also a number of links to other helpful tips for implementing Gtk-like elements to Qt.

    Have fun...
