I've been using Kubuntu for some time. I don't recall when, but at some point the form controls got ugly in Firefox. Radio buttons, check boxes and the like.

I tried all the stuff in the forums. The firefox-forms-widget fix to no avail. After searching I finally ran across someone who had the answer, Larsn.

Here's the fix that worked for me. Essentially Larsn's answer slightly modified for Jaunty with KDE 4.2;

The fix that worked for me is to install the package “gtk2-engines-qtcurve”, then open K-Start/System Settings and go to Appearance -> GTK Styles and Fonts change the GTK Styles to Use another Style: “QtCurve”.

I tested this with a couple other options like "Crux". It also worked. I'm guessing it's an issue with the Oxygen theme.

  I don't see this problem with a fresh & clean install of Kubuntu 9.04 on my Inspirion laptop.
