That's a widget style.  KDE3 widget styles contain C++ code which, due to
changes in the theming system, need to have some changes made (QT -> TQT
conversion) and then be recompiled in order for them to work with Trinity.
There used to be some scripts knocking around that could help with the code 
changes, but they're not foolproof.  You can open an RFE for the Domino
style in Bugzilla, if you like.

Most other KDE3 theming elements should work, including backgrounds, icon 
themes, sound themes, mouse cursors, and I think tdm and amaroK themes 
might be okay, based on the examination I did of their structure.  I'm not sure 
about window decoration styles.
