Yes. I noticed that and it has been enabled all along. The issues I have with the Gnome appearance is not about colors, per se, but about other stylistic issues (flat buttons, e.g., in comparison to the previous appearance which displayed shaded "curvy" buttons).
To get to the Gnome control center in KDE, open a shell and run: gnome-control-center
"Open" a shell? Doesn't everybody keep at least one shell running at all times?
Anyway:
% gnome-control-center Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
(nautilus:31938): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
(from the menu, mine is located under Menu>Utilities>Desktop>GNOME Control Center)
----------------------- This is because you were logged in as root in your shell and didn't have X privileges. You don't need to run gnome control center as root, only user. If you run as root, it will only affect root's login, not the user's. ===========
The launch feedback just times out without the control center ever appearing. No doubt it's the same problem as shown above when run from a shell.
So... What's up with that error?
There you should be able to adjust many things associated with Gnome and make the changes you seek.
For the moment, I'll just have to take your word for it...

Again, you can run it from the menu as well. Of course, on the shell, it's a natural part of the daily operation, isn't it? ;o) Lee
