Hello everyone !
I'm proud to present you this new theme. It mostly aims to give KDE a kind of modern look, while waiting for KDE4 ;) It may give you another vision of your desktop, though it won't be as perfect as Kore, and won't have any emerald theme (at first at least). Anyway I'm sure some of you will like it, and the good point is that everyone can use it ;) Please leave some comments, as I see it's really shared between "good" and "bad", just tell me what you like or don't like in it, so that I can improve it ...

04/10/2007 : Published Preview
05/10/2007 : Cleaned the Bottom Corners of the dekorator theme
06/10/2007 : Cleaned the top Corners, adjusting the masks so they could have a better roundness and be less pixalised over white. Guess it is now close to the cleanest. Modified the size of the top bar grey line from 2 px to 1 px. Looks also cleaner. Finishing KBFX theme, will have to cut the cake soon ;)
07/10/2007 : Upload new screenshot after replacing the corners, it's starting to get awsome !
11/10/2007 : Upload new screenshots showing the different colors of the button while hovered or press. Working on KBFX and Beryl port of the dekorator theme :)
12/10/2007 : Upload new screenshot showing the KBFX theme. See the 3rd screenshot. I just need to finish the KBFX buttons and I'll upload everything at last ;)
13/10/2007 : Uploaded first part, got some problems for the wallpaper upload (too heavy for imageshack).

If you're talking about the color scheme, I changed several things already like the contrast for selected text. I'll upload some new screenshots soon.
So you're working for a theme dedicated to opensuse ? I tried opensuse 2 years ago. I tried different systems in fact, debian at first, then ubuntu, then opensuse and then gentoo which I'm on :)
I didn't quite get what you want from my theme. If you're talking about the symbols they are on transparent background so that should be easy for you when I'll release the theme to use them with yours ;)
BTW I see you're using the domino windeco, is it possible to modify the buttons ? just wondering...
Anyway cool KBFX theme once again ;)

No, i really dislike rpm based linux distros like Suse, Fedora, Mandriva,...
My linux is a Kubuntu based system because i love .deb packages and the installer of it (i dont know why but i think debian sistems are easier)
gentoo... i use sabayon here, and it is gentoo based too o/

Your theme is probably also based on Kore by code2? There are so many atm, I have also made a mod of his work (just fixed some bugs, nothing really changed) and will make a self-installing package to install the whole Kore with just one configure file.
It hink code2 is the most influencing artist on the whole site. (Maybe Crystal Project > Kore, but CP is being made by a whole group and Kore only by code2).
Look:
http://www.kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/54701-2.png
he uses this light blue only for some active and important buttons, and this makes Kore that good. If you like having blue everywhere more, it's for sure OK, but I at least recommend using a black Kicker wall and not a blue/white one.
I have similar problems with my project. It's really hard to make a theme that has a high eye-candy effect and at the same time doesn't disturb your concentration.

and the last theme i will probably uses green or red color for it, because some linuxers hates blue (win/mac color). But i don't know if i should make a "modern" or "radical" or simply" theme...

i will wait for your theme because i need the borders button of it (close, maximize, minimize) the buttons from mine aren't so beautiful, and my theme i don't want to share on public because it will probably be an standard theme for the next release of the linux that i'm using.

Most people I want to communicate with aren't even viewing their comments. :hapy:
I'd prefer round corners on the bottom of the windows, or at least "real" corners (90° x/y). And the color contrast for selected units should be higher (either lighter text or background with more intensive blue).
About the sky theme...
the first try was just ugly, I know that. So I took some sky images to get natural colors. But I'm not very happy with the reswult, too...
The colors are too pale, I think. But Idk what I should change first- the buttons (close minimize etc) or the color scheme (the first attempt to change was bad too).
Ill pick some better blue colors and intensify the contrast. Hope it will improve to an acceptable niveau that way.
BTW: Prolly its juz taste, but Id like your windeco more if ud put the close etc buttons to the very right side.
BTW#2: I use Emerald cuz of 2 reasons :1st I got used to it by using code2s Kore emerald theme and 2nd I think it's very simple& easy & logical in use (as little bitmaps necessary as possible; I welcome that very much since pixel editing is definitely NOT fast. When I first used Gimp I didnt even know that there is a function to make color-changeovers so I edited EVERY pixel and it took so much time to get the right colors...lol)

Well I really agree with you about the selected text color, so I kept the blue, and now the selected text is dark grey (kinda black) so that contrast really on it.
I can give a try to the square corners, but I think it's gonna look better with so more rounded corners. I made the top corners using some circle motives in GIMP, then applied the gradient. Then I copied the top corners to make the bottom ones. That's why they're not so round. Well I'll improve this.
About the buttons if I want to put them all more to the edge I have to edit both top corners, that's not a problem either (make them shorter for the title bar). That's it :)
Cheers for the dekorator theme ;)

It's really beautiful, but (1) BLACK background makes most web pages unreadable. It's hard enough with grey background
(2) I like Kore more.
