For the KDE fans out there, check this out for a taste of KDE 4. So cool, you can even try out the menus http://img396.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kdemockup7sj.swf |

Re: Linux or Windows Operating System? by Niggy(m): 6:42pm On Mar 29, 2006 |
@jogego For my desktop theming i use the following softwares from www.kde-look.org 1. deKorator 2. Crystal dekorator 3. Vista-inspire icon theme 4. QtCurve 0.34 5. Kbfx 6. Black Kicker png(which i made myself) 7. Clock(don't know the really name but it's in www.kde-look.org) 8.Superkaramba 9.Gold icon 10.knetappdock 11.and a can of beer Really the major work is in how i personnally use this tools to produce the effects. i shall discus them in my next post. |
Re: Linux or Windows Operating System? by Niggy(m): 6:47pm On Mar 29, 2006 |
The dekorator is in a source code form and need to be compiled as this untar it(uncompress it) cd into the folder director cd <package_name> ./configure make make install to uninstall, do make uninstall The dekorator is like your plastic theme or lipstick theme with better effect and font end handling. A theme for dekorator is crystal dekorator which has to be compiled too. this produce the transparent effect around windows and noticed in my window edges. |
Re: Linux or Windows Operating System? by Niggy(m): 6:49pm On Mar 29, 2006 |
Qtcurve is my widget style (window style). it's just fantastic! it has many effect that can be configured.Majorly it give my window the shiny glassy look. |
Re: Linux or Windows Operating System? by Niggy(m): 6:52pm On Mar 29, 2006 |
The vista-inspire icon can be downloaded from www.kde-look.org I replace the default tool bar icons of the vista-inspire icon with the Gold icons. This can be done from your konqueror windows setting. Kbfx replaces the default klaunch |
Re: Linux or Windows Operating System? by Niggy(m): 6:53pm On Mar 29, 2006 |
superkaramba is just used for the desktop time and date display. this theme can be gotten from kde-look. |

I just upgraded KDE to 3.5.2 from 3.5.1and also did a dist-upgrade at the same time. When it was finished I noticed a new program dont know if its Kubuntu specific or KDE. Its Katapult and really wonderful. It launches by pressing 'alt'+'space' and then you type in a program and it launches it. I have not had to go to kmenu for some time and its really time saving. http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=33985 |

sh.i.t, niggy, where do you get these mesmerizing wallpaers? i must have died an gone to bitmap heaven (LOL). How do you get ur apps for Gnome? all the developers out there (most of em, anyway) seem KDE-inclined, and i have to trawl the net to play mp3, wma, divx (these things are not part of the FC3 distro) |
Re: Linux or Windows Operating System? by Niggy(m): 7:12pm On Apr 03, 2006 |
