I have an RH9 and a Gentoo Linux machines. Installed things like vnc and

improve the scrollbars?


Sounds like you need to pick a new theme. I believe that X-Chat uses
GTK2, I've no idea what your VNC client uses. Install something
capable of changing GTK2 themes and try that.
http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?gtk-chtheme-0.3.1 for example.


You also might consider installing gtk-qt-engine if you would like to make
your gtk apps use the KDE style. Also consider emerging gnome-themes and
gnome-theme-extras if you want to have lots of choice.


After I install gtk-qt-engine or gtk-chtheme. Do you think I should
unmerge and then merge back the products I want to improve?



I suppose it couldn't hurt, though I don't think that gtk-qt-engine will help you. It looks like whatever widget library that program is using is very simple, not gtk and not qt. Not even twm, the default for X. Are you sure that kwin is your window manager? And what version of KDE are you using? Does x-chat really look like the screenshot you posted?


I got KDE 3.3.0 (should upgrade though) and it is running through kdeinit. As for xchat. I think the earlier installations looked like what you saw but I just noticed it is fully controlled using gtk-chtheme (now that I installed it). However vnc is still "primitive".
