fairly close the same and is available for KDE3 and KDE4)
Just to clarify: these are not 3 options for the same thing: the first two are
the options for the KWin theme, i.e. the window decorations. The third one is
an option (IMHO the most promising one) for the widget style. The window
decorations are the borders of the window, in particular the title bar and the
buttons on it. They are a theme for the window manager, i.e. KWin (and
Beryl/Compiz-fusion which can display KWin themes). In the GNOME world, this is
nodoka-metacity-theme. The widget style defines how things like menus, buttons,
scrollbars, text boxes and the like look. This is a team for the widget
toolkit, i.e. Qt. (And as both Qt 3 and 4 will be in use for the near future,
we'll need versions for both, whereas for the KWin theme, only version 4 will
be relevant once we get kdebase-workspace 4 in.) In the GNOME world, this is
gtk-nodoka-engine.
