Amarok gets a facelift

On Theming, Amarok 2.0 uses the QT4 graphical framework, and anything using QT4 will use the same theme, configured on a per-user basis. When switching to Gnome, the apps all use GTK which uses a separate (mostly incompatible) set of themes. What needs to happen is for some bridgework to be done so that when changing the QT(4) theme, that it also adjusts the GTK theme to match as closely as possible (and vice-versa) in order to maintain a uniform interface.

On the version of Amarok included in major distros, that would be the 1.4 version, which corresponds to the KDE 3.5 desktop series and the QT3 framework .
