(SOLVED) I love the concept of PCLinuxOS but.....

[Dragonscorn]

I've been trying PClinuxOS on & off now for the last 2 or 3 years, & love the rolling distro concept, but one thing has always put me off.
The integration off gnome/gtk apps.
Whenever the colour scheme is changed in settings/application appearance, only kde apps follow the scheme.
So things like Synaptic, Libreoffice, Firefox, Gimp etc...   stick to the default scheme, spoiling the consistency of the Desktop.
Nearly all the other kde Distros i've tried have this sorted, why not PCLinuxOS?
Is there anything I can do?

gtk-kde4  from the repository ........  will this do what you need?

Allow GTK to use KDE4 widget styles
This app give you ability to change appearance of GTK
applications in KDE4. For this purpose you may use GTK
stuff, or your current KDE stuff: widget styles, icons and
fonts. GTK-KDE4 can help you unify Qt and GTK+ apps appearance.
More info and installation instructions can be found in Readme
files inside archives.

Don't be disappointed just yet! There is hope

Thank you both, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Surely this should be installed & enabled by default.
It's the one thing that has stopped me using PCLinuxOS.
I asked the same question a while back but got no satisfactory answer, yet it appears the workaround has been around for at least a couple of years, judging by the 2nd post.
Anyway, i'll now get on with installation.
Thanks again

That's what the search function is for
