<P>GNOME and KDE are both desktop environments. GNOME is based on
the GTK+ widget set, and is primarily written in C. KDE on the other
hand is based on the QT widget set, and is primarily written in C++.</P>
<P>Both environments offer a wide range of applications from toys and
games to full-blow office suites. Both are actively developed and
ported to FreeBSD. If you're trying to decide which one to call your
own, try them both, and see which one you like better.</P>
<P>You can read more about KDE on FreeBSD at

<P>If you're tired of the default themes that come with GNOME, you
do have options. First, FreeBSD's ports collection comes with a
rather large collection of GTK themes for GNOME. To install these
from packages, run:</P>
<TT># pkg_add -r gtk-engines-collection</TT>
<P>To install the themes from ports, do:</P>
<PRE>
# cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk-engines-collection
# make all install clean
</PRE>
<P>If you want even more themes, checkout
<a href="http://gtk.themes.org">http://gtk.themes.org</a>. Note,
you will probably need to install the <tt>gtk-engines-collection</tt>
before using any of the themes from themes.org.</P>
