Ubuntu – KDE theme in Ubuntu Unity

kdethemesunity

I would like to know if it is possible to have a KDE theme (I think it's called Oxygen, but I'm not sure) for Ubuntu Unity? I really like the theme used in KDE but I prefer to use Ubuntu Unity. I wonder if anyone have tried that.

Thanks.

@chathurawidanage: i followed your instruction and installed oxygen-transparent successfully. However, I was not able to find the theme among the list in System Settings -> Appearance. There is no application appearance. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. I also tried using Ubuntu Tweak but only the icon is available on the option. Any other way to activate this theme?

Seems like this is what you need. A gtk port of a kde theme. You will require gtk supported engine and it seems oxygen supports both gtk2 and gtk3. There seems to be a ppa providing the required theme as well as engine. You may use it as well or search for other ppa in Launchpad. Just do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hrvojes/kde-goodies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-oxygen gtk3-engines-oxygen oxygen-transparent

What are PPAs and how do I use them?
