In that case there's something you need to be aware of: |

You may well find that some KDE4 apps using Qt5 and new plasma look |
| 21 |
decidedly odd, as if they are using a toolkit they were not designed to |
| 22 |
use. Imagine 2 GTK apps on the screen, one using that horrible square |
| 23 |
blocky GTK+2 look you get without a proper theme, the other using nice |
| 24 |
new flashy GTK+3 goodness. Looks pretty gross and can throw you off. |

Thankfully the KDE5 apps I use all work nicely now, I reckon most of |
| 27 |
them grossness has passed. |
