# &kde; met niet-&kde;-toepassingen

Mijn niet-&kde;-toepassingen zoals &Emacs; en kterm gedragen zich vreemd met vreemde kleuren!

Start de &kcontrol; en in Uiterlijk en Thema's Kleuren deselecteert u het vakje Kleuren toepassen op niet-KDE-applicaties en klikt u op Toepassen.

Hoe kan ik de standaardwebbrowser wijzigen in iets anders dan &konqueror;?

Indien u &kde; 3.3 gebruikt, opent u het &kcontrolcenter; en gaat u naar de sectie KDE-Componenten Komponentenkiezer. Selecteer Webbrowser uit de lijst aan de linkerkant en selecteer Open http- en https-url-adressen in deze browser en geef vervolgens in het veld eronder de browser aan (bijvoorbeeld mozilla, firefox, opera).

How can I set fonts for GTK applications within &kde;?

There are a few ways of doing this. The most simple way is to pick a GTK theme that you like from `/usr/share/themes`, or wherever your GTK installation lives, and copy the relevant files to your home directory. For example, you could use Bluecurve:

    cp /usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc ~/.gtkrc-2.0

Once the `gtkrc` file is in your home directory, open it in a text editor. Scroll down until you see where the file defines the engine, ⪚:

    engine "bluecurve"

On the line above this line, put in the font you would like your GTK applications to use, as so:

    font_name = "Bitstream Vera Sans 10"
    engine "bluecurve"

Save the file, and close your GTK applications and then relaunch them. They should now use this GTK style and font.

Another method is to download the gtk-qt engine from kde-look.org. Unless there are packages for your distribution you'll have to compile the source code. Instructions can be found on kde-look.org. Once this is done you will be able to set your GTK theme and fonts from within a &kcontrolcenter; module, under Appearance & themes.
