So you have successfully installed skype on your Ubuntu. Everything is fine but it looks sooo ugly . The reason is that skype is written in QT so it looks fine in KDE but not so good in Gnome. The easy way to fix it is to download kcontrol that will let you set the look and feel of kde applications. So all you have to do is to type the following in the terminal sudo aptitude install qt3-qtconfig polymer Then run qtconfig and choose polymer theme. More help here.
