About
MetaTheme is a project dedicated to unification of appearance between different graphics toolkits (currently GTK2, QT and Java).
The program is designed as a thin layer between toolkits and theme engines, creating unified API by which each theme engine can draw. The result is that every application uses the same code for drawing, making the appearance same across different applications. MetaTheme also adjusts behaviour a bit, so the overall effect of unification is impressive.
