I'm not sure I agree with the idea of changing the default theme other than when installing kdelibs4 for the 1st time. We could make kde4-runtime or kde4-workspace depend on QtCurve so that the theme gets installed, but I think that the rest can safely be left up to the user.

It's true that even with the KDE fonts configured as closely as possible to what OS X uses (Lucida Grande 13, 11 and 10 pt), the Aqua theme still leads to bad layout.

Marko, have you yet been able to see to what extent that is still true under KF5?

BTW, just saw there's also this: https://code.google.com/p/fusion-qt4/ ;)


R.

NB: I just notice kdepim4 depends on qt4-mac and phonon only, not even on kdepimlibs4?!
