Why not make Harmony a KDE support library?
Just implement the classes that are essential for KDE core programs.

Make KDE independent from QT, and let developers choose whether they want
their app to use a full-featured QT or just the KDE support classes, with or
without the rest of the KDE libs :) . I would think this library might be
smaller too, so some users/developers might even prefer it over QT.
I think making the KDE core independent of QT is a step in the right direction.

As for the theming stuff, i thought Harmony was already designed with theming
in mind?


Just my 2 cents :)
