Controlling Appearance of GTK+ applications in KDE

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

The appearance of gtk (Gnome) applications under KDE is controlled by a
System Settings function:

        System Settings->Application Appearance->GTK+ Appearance->Widget
        Style

which works as advertised: the theme chosen for the widget style affects
Gnome applications (in particular evolution), changing the shape and
color of the scrollbars, color of selected portions of text, etc.  The
themes appear to be a selection of the themes available
in /usr/share/themes, but only a very partial
selection.  /usr/share/themes contains 29 themes, of which only 9 are
available in the pull-down menu next to Widget Style.  How can the
remaining themes in the system be made available to KDE?  Is it possible
to download more GTK+ themes for use by KDE, or are only some themes
compatible.

System is Fedora-20 with all upgrades running on x86_64 hardware.

The problem arose because since upgrading to Fedora-20, evolution under
the KDE desktop doesn't look good.  The selected message isn't
highlighted much.

Thanks - jon
