Keramik RPM (for RH + KDE 3.0.3)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is an RPM for everyone who wants the
latest Keramik snapshot. I hacked it using
the CVS sources, and for me, the crucial
feature is that you can change the colour
scheme of the lovely window borders, which
you couldn't on the widely distributed older
snapshot from June. It was built on RH 7.3
against the latest KDE 3.0.3 addons, and
installs in /usr/lib/kde3. If you get a
dependency error about kwin, just ignore it,
ie use --nodeps :-)

please excuseme my english, i don't speak very well.
If you want REMOVE the transparent kicker background, you should edit the file keramik.cpp into kstyle/keramik. Inside of keramik.cpp search the string "kicker" and change the option panelType = 1 for PanelType = 0. You can change the opacity and can set striped pannel too.
I had problem searching the Keramik TarBall, so I found finally an old version, can download it at:
http://linuzito.com.ar/~estebanmake:
but I can't compile it, an error:
*** No rule to make target `/lib/libkdeui.la', needed by `keramik.la.closure'. Stop. appears.
Good luck!

See www.gkrellm.net or hunt around
for some RPMs out there. RH7.3 (and
probably other distros) includes
this nifty monitoring tool.

colour blending:
Colour 1 = mid blue
Colour 2 = dark blue
Mode = horizontal gradient
Blending = pyramid blending 40%
Hope this makes sense - just play around I guess!

Its a too big speed hit.
After all the style was planned to be default,so it must be fast on low end machines.
Not everybody has a Athlon XP:)

what about these ideas..
is it also a speed hit, if the color of the tapped-pane is diffrent of the window-background color ? look at the default style of WinXP, that is really a complete Look!
and, what about, if the awful border of the Kicker will dissapear?! if you put a nice background-pic, but anyway, there is the "waaaaa" grey (or what ever) border that is really misplaced.. the size should be set to "0". Example: WinXP.
i can't imagine that this is so much work..;) and, another thing, to give KDE a great Look is, to separate the Style-pixmaps of the Taskbar-items from the same Style-Pixmaps of Konquerors 'Detailed View-Mode'(look at items "Name, Size, Typ,...")
Till now, it seems, that there is anything equal of the Taskbar and the Konqueror's 'Detailed View-Mode'
My opinion is, that KDE will be perfect, if it could look just like any Desktop.
Some other nice things would be..
"giving every virtual desktop of KDE an own handling of Text-Color, and/or Hiding the Icons. Imagine.., that could be useful for a "Presentation-Mode" or whatever, for example, if people are getting mad of too much icons on their Desktop ;)
An example: it doesn't make any sense, if you can change the text-color or the Icons of only 1 desktop to be able to read the Names/text. because, if you switch to another virtual desktop, with a beautiful background-picture, you may notice. that you can't read the text at all, because it has got the same color like the picture..
People with bad Eyes may have got problems to read it!
Anyway, i switched completly from Windowz to Linux, with the great KDE, i love it!
thx
