I've followed your installation instructions to the tee and still experience a different, but similar problem. When I open up new Konqueror windows using either New Window from the menues, or from clicking on links that open in a new window, the toolbar icons sometimes revert to the KDE defaults. This never happens when I launch a new instance of Konqueror from the K-Menu, Alt+F2, or anything like that. - Dec 14 2001

1) Open the KDE-Menu an start the Control Center
2) Click on "Look and Feel" and "Icons"
3) Browse to the location of the new icon theme tar.gz file by clicking the small folder button
4) Click on "Install New Theme" to add the new icons
5) Click "Apply" (If Kcontrol asks you to save the settings, then chose yes)
6) Have fun! :-)

On the upper hand, it's better than QNiX, which makes the active window's taskbar button white, so you can't even tell whether it's a grouped button or not. - Dec 14 2001

You really did agreat work! I hope your icon set gets included in KDE3. What I would really like for KDE3 is the possibility to chose from several icon sets. It would be nice to have the possibility to customize your desktop even further and more easily. Is there a module for the kontrollcenter to chose between several icon sets? I don"t really care which icon set is default if you can chose anyway, but I think your beautiful icons are a good candidate for a default icon set! - Dec 14 2001

I would guess that ./configure by default may be placing the files in the wrong directory. Use the --prefix argument to configure to tell it where the base of KDE is, e.g. --prefix=/usr for Mandrake users.

For more information on all the options available in configure, use configure --help. - Dec 14 2001

The theme is really nice, good work. The only thing I miss (and which only a few themes provide) is a way to mark a selected menu item. To be more explicitly, open konqi, go to your home folder, in the 'View' menu select 'View mode' and you'll see there there four alternatives. Well, the default theme marks the selected alternative, most themes don't. The same situation happens in the popup menu of the taskbar applet. If I have 10 konqi's open I would like to know which is the active one, but with this theme I can't. Take it only as constructive criticism, the theme is really nice otherwise.
Keep up the good work. - Dec 14 2001

Great icon set - much better than the KDE default one.

The only problem now (which the KDE set has also) is that the icons for 'Find' and 'Zoom In/Out' are very very similar, which they shouldn't be. Even something like flipping the 'Find' magnifying glass around would serve to indicate that the two are not related.

I'm also not sure why you've divided it into Home/Pro, if the only difference is the rocket for 'Run'. Where there really people so odd that they felt the rocket was 'unprofessional' in some way? Strange. - Dec 14 2001

the solution is to provide the correct prefix during ./configure

i'm using debian and had the same problem..

everything's the same as above, but instead of:
./configure

use:
./configure --prefix=/usr


(and you might want to remove the stuff from last install in /usr/local/kde)

I see elements from all three of my favourite KDE styles here: QNiX menubars, toolsbars, scrolbars, and buttons; High-colour Default taskbar buttons, menus, highlights; and, of course, Liquid translucency. This style literally combines the best of what made all those other styles so attractive. Very well done! I'll be using this one for a long time to come... - Dec 13 2001

Aaaargh. Something else went wrong in addition to what I said in the Correction post. OK, maybe it's just me, but it seems that Mandrake expects the entry to be in MenuDrake anyway before it'll run. Otherwise, it throws up an error to the effect of "basegroup Mandrake/Configuration/KDE not found" or something.

So you have to add it to your regular menu AND to Menudrake. Fortunately, there's a script for this. At least, in my more-Cooker-than-8.1 distro there is. Since I apparently suck at providing generic instructions, I'll provide instructions specific to this one theme (this worked for me, your mileage may vary):

1. As root, type: kdedesktop2mdkmenu.pl TeaX "Configuration/KDE/LookNFeel" /usr/share/applnk/Settings/LookNFeel/teaxtrans.desktop /usr/lib/menu/teaxtrans kde TeaX

2. Edit /usr/lib/menu/teaxtrans and replace "kcmshell LookNFeel/teaxtrans" with "kcmshell teaxtrans"

3. Do the same replace with /usr/share/applnk/Settings/LookNFeel/teaxtrans.desktop

4. At this point, it might or might not show up in the KDE Control Centre. If it does, good for you. If it doesn't, you'll have to find it the hard way in the K-Menu somewhere.

Phew! Wasn't that simple?! Good luck! - Dec 13 2001

Whoops, /usr/share/applnk/Preferences should be /usr/share/applnk/Settings - Dec 13 2001
TeaX

KDE 2 Themes by teax 79 comments

Mandrake uses a non-standard path for its customised menu structure. It uses /usr/share/applnk-mdk instead of KDE's defaut, /usr/share/applnk, which messes up most programs' install scripts.

There are 3 ways around this:

1. From MenuDrake, go to Action->Menu Style->Standard Menu in order to use /usr/share/applnk

2. Manually create a MenuDrake entry based on the file created in /usr/share/applnk/Preferences/LookNFeel/.desktop

3. Copy the relevant .desktop from /usr/share/applnk/Preferences/LookNFeel to /usr/share/applnk-mdk/Configure/KDE/LookNFeel BUT if you do this it will be deleted the next time something runs the update-menus script, i.e. installing or removing any Mandrake-friendly RPM. Sucks, doesn't it? I went with solution #1, myself.

Hope this helps. - Dec 13 2001
