This theme started out as a wallpaper I got from http://www.deviantart.com called 'Grey Matrix' (which is also now on KDE-Look). Now it's its own KDE 3.0 theme.
- contains two files (one for Mosfet Liquid users, and one for those without)
- included Fe2O3 skin for XMMS
- also contains file to add to .Xdefaults for good GNU Emacs color scheme
- PLEASE READ THE INCLUDED TEXT FILELast changelog:
I would like to just say thank you for a great looking theme, its the first one Ive got to work. Iam trying linux out and starting with the small stuff.
Hey I am a newb and I have no idea what you guys are talkign about with the xdefaults. I don't know where those folders are or how to find and then modify them...please help me out! :)
Where can I get the panel for this theme? Every theme I download seems to lack a panel =(, I'm new to Linux and just recently updated 8.2 to 9.0, and was looking forward to some KDE 3.0 themes, but I'm Linux dumb atm.
i might be particularly dense this afternoon, but i can't seem to locate the "Grey Matrix" wallpaper on the deviant art web site. does anyone have any tips for me ?
thanks !
I forget which category it was under, but you can find the wallpaper here on KDE-Look.org under the Wallpapers section. It should be under 'Grey Matrix'
You can find 'em here on KDE-Look. As for installation, once you install the Crystal Icons per the directions of that package, just go to the control panel and select the proper icon set.
This screenshot has a transparent konsole window only. Not sure if you can make all the windows transparent, but anyway...
Open konsole (the terminal/shell program) Right-click , choose Schema and pick one with Transparent in it's name -- Transparent Konsole is good for this theme as it has fairly bright text.
Now, you'll want to make a schema of you own sooner or later with a different pair of colours. Best thing to do is to copy the schema file from /usr/share/apps/konsole into your /.kde/share/apps/kosole/
(call it something new). Then open it in an editor (Nedit) and hack it. It's all nicely commented to explain what things do. Tip: make sure you change the title setting...
You can also get transparent menus. Have a look in the Look'n'Feel section of the KDE Control Center.
hope it helps -- was flying blind here at work (well, with KDE 2 on a test machine... some things may have changed with konsole in 3.0)
Please write step by step how to install and use this theme.
I am new in Linux. Use KDE3.0, Suse 8.0.
I followed the readme, but only the color is different.
Can I copy the zip file to the /skin in zip mode? or how?
Thanks,Peter
Untar the package with something like:
tar xfzv filename.tar.gz
Then use KDE's theme importer (somewhere in the control panel) to import the themes. As for the XMMS zip (skin) file, just copy it to ~/.xmms/Skins with something like:
cp filename.zip ~/.xmms/Skins
Good luck,
hpsolo
I like it alot. The greenish greyish touch is easy in the eyes. Looks great with qnxstyle.. Good job!
btw: I've used the theme importer from kcontrol, since copying to the folders mentioned in the readme did not work for me.

This is a file in your home directory. If you don't have a file called .Xdefaults then you can just create one with any text editor.

Hey, is that XMMS skin part of the package? I like that skin, it's groOvy! Tony

So, I installed the theme, but I don't know where I can find the Cristal icons, because here there are many Cristal icons.
I'm new to linux so please bear with me here...I love this theme but I don't know how to make the windows transparent. Help?

I've redhat3, and installed your theme. Where do i have to place the .zip for the colors and buttons etc? I'm a bewbie so i need the exact location
you can just create an .Xdefaults file in your ~ directory and X should use it... :)
i have mandrake 8.2 where can i find the .Xdefault so i can ad dotXdefaults to it

great theme!!! I like it a lot!! I also like TOOL --> stinkfist a lot!!! hehe!!
Looks nice. I should probably know this, but what is that window decoration called? It's simple, yet elegant. Was it included with Liquid at one time?
It's the "Mack Style" from Mosfet's Liquid.
