+Oxygen-Gtk is a port of the default KDE widget theme (Oxygen) to gtk.
+
+Its primary goal is to ensure visual consistency between gtk and
+qt-based applications running under kde. A secondary objective is
+to also have a stand-alone nice looking gtk theme that would
+behave well on other Desktop Environments.
+
+Unlike other attempts made to port the kde oxygen theme to gtk,
+this attempt does not depend on Qt (via some Qt to Gtk conversion engine),
+nor does render the widget appearance via hard coded pixmaps,
+which otherwise breaks everytime some setting is changed in kde.
+
+EXAMPLE_USAGE: ln -s /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc ~/.gtkrc-2.0
