[ubuntu-art] spec for Human Qt theme

[Wes Morgan]

Kenneth,

Great! Your help will be most appreciated.

Here's what I'm thinking on your KDE 3 vs. 4 question:

The point of this spec is mainly to make sure that Qt/KDE apps running in
Ubuntu (GNOME) look and feel exactly like GNOME/GTK apps (or as close as we
can get). So, it seems like we need both a Qt/KDE 3 version and a Qt/KDE 4
version. Because there are many (binary) apps out there that are Qt 3-based,
and more and more that are Qt 4-based, not to mention the impending KDE-wide
shift to Qt 4 with the upcoming release of KDE 4. But even when that comes
out, it would still be nice to support the older Qt 3-based apps with this
theme.

I would think we should start with Qt/KDE 3 (at least for the feisty cycle)
and then we can focus on Qt/KDE 4 (in the feisty cycle too, if there's time,
feisty+1 if not, since I would imagine that Kubuntu feisty+1 will be a KDE 4
system).

Does that seem right?

Wes
