And never will be. KDE isn't about skinning and such. It's about creating a 
uniform, well integrated desktop experiance. While skins may be cool, they do 
not portray a well integrated professional looking desktop. Normally with 
Firefox I tend to force it to have as close of a theme to KDE as I can get to 
make it look less the sore thumb on the desktop.
