Description: A desktop theme created with artworks of the painter Barbara Kaemper. The content file contains: - a desktop theme - a IceWM windows decoration - color schema for the konsole - a splash screen - a kfm background image - a icon set (750 icons, each icon in 3 sizes, not complete, but growing) - OpenOffice.org-1.1 toolbar icons (mostly generated by the script written by Rohit Kaul, thanks for it!)
Install: Download and unpack the content file, have a look to bk.README and run "install.sh" to copy the file to your ~/.kde directory. Change the design, the icons set, the window decoration, the color settings of the konsole and the KFM bg image.Last changelog:
04/19/04 Added 60 icons to the icon set and update the OpenOffice.org toolbar.
01/15/04 Added OpenOffice.org aplication icons, a few icons for kcontrol and a few more application icons.
10/13/03 Added the OpenOffice.org-1.1 toolbar icons and a few icons to the icon theme.
8/19/03 redesign of the theme file and add a icon set. May be, need only the icon set, have a look at my home page. You will find a seperate archiv for every componente.
17/8/03 Set only the correct homepage link and license, no content changes.
Add a splash screen.
Add a kfm background image and higher quality images for the desktops.
I actually really like this. Could you possibly make a darkish red version of this (instead of the pink-like color). I think that would be cool. Really though, this is nice.
I use the applet called "Schnellstarter" (german, english something like "fast starter" ??? I do not know exactly).
You may get the applet by right-click on the control bar and add the applet. You may add or remove programs from the K-menu to the applet. The program icons you are shown with 16x16 pixel stacked.
Hope it will help you.
I just want to say, I downloaded this theme and tried it with KDE 3.0.4 and it is beautiful.
My only problem is that I don't get the wonderful, painted titlebar and buttons look I see in the screenshot.
Is it a part of the theme that 3.0.4 isn't picking up, or am I missing something?
After choosing the theme in the design manager you have to start the window decoration manager (settings -> look and feel -> windows decoration), choose the decoration IceWM and configure the IceWM with the theme "Paintings_by_...).
I do not know, how to integrate this settings in the design. May be, someone would help me!

How did you make the Icons in the task bar "stack" (2 colums of icons stacked rather than 1 big icon)?

I like it :) I give it a try later :-) As the others say. Too much Liquid/Aqua is out there...
very detailed and to the point ... install instructions are excelent... bonus with the console schema
please don't be discouraged by the rating by all those liquid/keramik kiddies roaming this site. This is nice original art. Thanx.
