Description:
QuantumStyle is an SVG themable style for Qt 4 and KDE.
Themes are designed in SVG files (e.g. in Inkscape).
It can use :
* a per application theme (in ~/.config/QuantumStyle/appName/appName.svg). Application name is guessed from QApplication::applicationName().
* a user set theme (in ~/.config/QuantumStyle/yourTheme/yourTheme.svg)
* a default theme (embedded into the style)
When drawing a widget, the style first looks for application specific one, then falls back into user set theme, then falls back to default theme.
INSTALLATION
1. qmake && make
2. copy (or symlink) libquantumstyle.so to (from) your Qt4 styles plugin directory (/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/styles/ for me)
3. Copy (or symlink) inkscape/*.inx and inkscape/*.py to (from) your inkscape extensions directory (/usr/share/inkscape/extentions for me)
MAKE YOUR OWN THEME
Read the documentation in the doc/ directory
Use themeconfig/default.svg as an example
The style should appear on kde style settings dialog and qtconfig. You may run kbuildsycoca4 if not.

* some missing widgets
