Re: Problem with look and feel after installing LXDE

Hello.
I installed LXDE in Debian 8 in a virtual machine from a text-only
environment using "aptitude -R". I had to install a display manager
separately to have a working graphic environment; I installed
"lightdm" with aptitude (without "-R").
I found that some programs, such as the one responsible for the
shutdown menu and Qt programs (like KAlarm) have a very plain look and
feel (like that of Windows 95) which is inconsistent with the rest of
the system (that has a more polished look and feel). I'd like to make
these programs have the same look and feel as the rest of the system.
As a test, I installed "lxde" in a different virtual machine *without*
the "-R" option. The shutdown menu has the right look and feel,
consistent with the rest of the system. Therefore, I think that the
"-R" option is making the installation lack the package responsible
for this look and feel, so the question is: what is that package?, or
otherwise, how can I make the programs that have the plain look and
feel look the same as the rest of the system (like Iceweasel).
Thanks in advance.
Looks like qt4-config is what you need to set the look and feel of QT
programs, you may
need additional kde/plasma theme stuff for KDE applications.
If your application preferences lean more toward the K stuff than the G
stuff you might also
try the RazorQT desktop. It's a bit like LXDE, but with QT instead of GTK.

Not being an aptitude user, I'm assuming the '-R' option tells aptitude
not to treat the recommends
as dependencies.
Synaptic has a place where you can view missing recommends and I think
it probably uses
aptitude to find out what those are, so maybe some one more familiar
with aptitude knows
the magic search query and will chime in.
Later, Seeker
