Can KDE be made to look like GNOME?

Before someone deletes this as trolling let me explain! :)

I use Linux at work, but only at the command line. Recently, I've installed Ubuntu on my laptop ant it uses GNOME. I really like how GNOME looks with thin title bars and sharp, un-rounded corners, just like (or better than) XP's classic style.

However, I can't seem to be able to configure it as much as I would like. For instance, I like to keep the desktop panel vertically on the right side, about an inch thick, as I usually have a lot of windows open. (I know there are better ways, using workspaces and tabs and what-not but this way suits me.) I wasn't able to configure GNOME to do that without it looking horrible.

I've read that KDE is way more configurable, so I'm thinking of installing it. I've looked at screenshots, but I don't really like the way it looks with thick title bars and rounded corners. So my question is: can KDE be made to look like GNOME. Do themes/styles exist that do this?

Thanks,

I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly understanding what you're asking.

What do you want to be similar between them?

Well, in a nutshell, I want Kubuntu to look the same as Ubuntu. Only, with KDE, I will, hopefully, be able to configure it more.

Is that possible with a KDE theme?
