Please clarify documentation on Qt vs. KDE and Gtk+ vs. GNOME

[probonopd]

The documentation seems to mix Qt with KDE and Gtk+ with GNOME.

What I am looking for is the best way to make all Qt applications (including, but not limited to, KDE ones) look native on Gtk+ systems (including, but not limited to, GNOME ones).

Is this project suitable to achieving this?

I don't see KDE mentioned in the documentation. The purpose of adwaita-qt is to make all Qt apps (including KDE apps as those use Qt as well) to fit into Gnome Shell, means they are supposed to look they are written in GTK+ with Adwaita style. The primary target is Gnome Shell, but if you use any other DE with Adwaita style, it will have same effect.

[grulja]

To make your Qt app to use this style, you have to use "-style adwaita" parameter, or alternatively use QGnomePlatform plugin, which will be used automatically on Gtk based DEs and force to use adwaita-qt in that case when available.

Thanks for the clarification @grulja.

I don't see KDE mentioned in the documentation.

Indeed, I was tricked by the "About KDE" dialog box.
