KDE Plasma Screenshots by lordmaxxon 3 comments

this missed the 'integrated' look of the menu bar, which was my essential point for embassy... But hey... everybody is free to change that and since Embassy is GPLed to republish it.

However WRT the wallpaper: I honestly love this wallpaper and I am using that myself, too. However the artistic license prevents from releasing Embassy under the GPL license, if I bundle it with the theme. - Apr 28 2006

Great! Yes, the 1.0 release is definitely worse. And I really appreciate that it's possible to disable the transparency features (I never used them ;-) ).

There's just one thing missing: Since crystal offers so much possibilities, it would be great to have some kind of confguration profile management (e.g. like QtCurve offers). This would enable theme creators to distribute different configurations for crystal. - Mar 29 2006

Various KDE 1.-4. Styles by Yaba 49 comments

You are using SuSE, right?

There are two ways:

ONE:

1) Open KControl and open Appearances & Themes -> GTK Styles and Fonts (assuming you've installed GtkQt)
2) Choose Use another style and select QtCurve

TWO:
1) Create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 as you have been done
2) Create an empty file ~/.no-qtrc-to-gtkrc-mapping
3) Restart KDE - Mar 12 2006

Hm... maybe... I never created a KDM theme and IMHO a KDM theme only makes sense with a similar KDE splash screen.

But it's a good idea.

Could you please do me a favour and try the Hunky fonts? (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121650&package_id=132728). These fonts are based von Bitstream Vera * but provide additional characters for other languages. Hopefully this fixes your problems and then I will use these fonts in the next update. - Mar 07 2006

Various KDE 1.-4. Styles by Yaba 49 comments

I will try to cleanup the fonts in the next release, however I've never heard of Albany and Cumberland. I don't have them on my system.

Regarding the character problems... Is there any reason why you are stuck to UTF-8? On my dad's system I was able to solve this problems by setting RC_LANG in /etc/sysconfig/language to de_DE. - Mar 07 2006

Hi Craig,

one problem with the wrapper script: It does not honor the KDE prefix, but assumes that libkgtk will be installed in /usr/bin. May I suggest the following changes?

#!/bin/bash

app=`basename $0`
kdeprefix=`kde-config --prefix`

if [ "$app" = "kgtk-wrapper.sh" ] ; then
LD_PRELOAD=$kdeprefix/lib/libkgtk.so:$LD_PRELOAD $*
else
dir=`dirname $0`
PATH=`echo $PATH | sed s:$dir::g`
real=`which $app`

if [ "$real" != "" ] && [ "`dirname $real`" != "$dir" ] ; then
LD_PRELOAD=$kdeprefix/libkgtk.so:$LD_PRELOAD $real $*
fi
fi


Another thing which is sad that the KDE file dialog does not accept the default file name given by the GTK application. E.g. in Thunderbird, when saving an attachement, I have to enter the name of the attached file manually. - Mar 06 2006

1.) can't see how to install Taskbar V2 on SuSE (download only supplies a .deb package)

Oops! I used the wrong link. Updated it on my homepage. Here is the correct one: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16261

2.) Instructions for configuring Crystal points to screenshot - when I compare to my options I don't see any decoration options.

Version 0.4 contains screenshots of all crystal option pages. Hope this helps.


3.) Can't get the toolbar, and menu bar to be the same colour (or look anything like the screenshots).
