It was in ubuntu universe repo as per hardy.1: the domino widget style.Are you sure that was standard in KDE 3? I've never heard of it.
Oki tnx:)2: in akregator ,option to show number of unread posts after chanel name as akregator 1.2.9(kde 3.5* version) and liferea, - thus hide the column of unread posts. -reason for why: to save space when using the combined view(3 vertical vindow view) , - and that gives you more space to show the posts in, - specialy when you use the option to load full webpage of rss post instead of the default rss text-feed post.Here is the bug I just filed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190474 Add a screenshot of 1.2.9 to the bug. Thanks.
Its not widget styling, but rather the aplication design, as akregator and konqueror are the to best exampels to the diffrent gui design changes from kde3 to kde4.3: Overall the option to use the kde3.5* style to the kde aplications but whitout losing the improved functionality and whitout using to mouch outdated code, more a kde4 version of a kde3 visiual interface style. as in the akregator exampel above.You can change the widget style to Plastique or another widget style that was available in KDE 3.
