Any idea when you'll have a release? Perhaps an alpha/beta?

Nimbus (Gentoo ebuild)

GTK2 Themes by DangerMan 32 comments

Its a very simple thing but I've been waiting a long time to have a nice dropshadow behind the desktop icon font in Gnome for a long time!

I assume this is part of libfontconfig? - Mar 16 2007

It is part of the overall theme (Nimbus) - Mar 16 2007

Beryl/Emerald Themes by cybermage 12 comments

I can't speak for others but I think your work is very creative. Personally, I prefer a more conservative window decoration. One that blends in with the window and doesn't try to compete for focus. On the other hand, it still needs to be pleasing to the eye.

Is that "start button" a Xandros thing?, I've been looking for one and I've found (K-Go!) but its too buggy, is there another one out there?

KDE 3.x Window Decorations by spasemunkie 23 comments

see above:

** Please note: this is NOT a working window decoration, just a sketch of a potential one **

although if you read a little more you will see that someone made an IceWM deco of this, you might want to check that out

KDE CVS Translucency

KDE Plasma Screenshots by kwr2k 5 comments

yeah thats true, and actually I've been running xcompmgr without the fade effects for about 2 hours now, I've been using firefox, kate, konqueror, thunderbird and juk so thats not bad..... I was checking the CVS last night and I saw they have something called kcompmgr, I'm thinking about compiling a CVS version to take a look

Gnome Screenshots by Dominatus 23 comments

First off, Very nice job!

1. (This might be a stupid question) but how did you remove the toolbar in natilus? I've tried in gconf but regardless if the toolbar checkbox is checked it always shows up. (I'm running Dropline Gnome 2.8.2)

2. I'm trying to get Engage to work, but all I've been able to do is get a lot of green question marks. I've looked for tutorials and can't find any. Can you give me a link to where you learned how to get yours to work?

Thanks Chris - Jan 20 2005
KDE CVS Translucency

KDE Plasma Screenshots by kwr2k 5 comments

I'm running slackware 10 w/ kde 3.3.4 beta1 and I can run (xcompmgr -c -f) for +/- 15 minutes until xcompmgr will crash. Granted your running CVS but it would be interesting to know how stable they've managed to get it.

How long can you run KDE w/ composite before it crashes or does it?

Thanks, Chris - Jan 20 2005

System Tray 2 (with icon hiding support)

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by Dgege 165 comments

This is a great add on for KDE, never again will I have to look at that stupid low res "clan bomber" icon for SuperKaramba!

One thing that I would like is the ability to change the button's appearance. Obviously this is beta, but it would be a cool feature down the road.

Keep up the good work!

This is great, I wonder if its possible to add something similar to the google search bar but instead of google it uses locate:

Thanks for a great addon

Improving KDE

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by andrunko 313 comments

I had the same thing happen -
Running:
Slackware 10
KDE 3.3.0
xorg 6.8.0
kdebase patched w/ kwin xcompmgr

I was thinking maybe it was because I had kdebase patched with the kwin xcompmgr patch.

Everything else looks good its just the rubberband stays after it's drawn.

KDE Plasma Screenshots by polemos 25 comments

Add this to your home/(your user)/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc

under FMSETTINGS add:
ShadowParameters=0, 1, 16.0, 192.0, 2, 4, 0

Changing the numbers under shadowparameteres modify the shadow, there is a very good howto buried on kde-look. I would love to give the author credit but I can't find the damn thing :(

KDE Plasma Screenshots by polemos 25 comments

I'm looking at your volume control icon in the task bar. Is that a static icon? Or do the bars increase and decrease to represent the volume. If they do, where did you get that?

Thanks!

Baghira

KDE 3.5 Themes by thomas12777 1262 comments

I just installed the latest baghira0.5g and I'm trying to turn off the menu effects in the style menu (fade, etc..) to try and make xcompmgr more stable. But there isn't an apply button and the "Ok" button doesn't save the changes. I've been able to in past revs. Am I overlooking something obvious or is there a problem?

Btw I love your work, Thanks for a great style and deco!

kde 3.3 + x.org 6.8 = transparency :)

KDE Plasma Screenshots by terra 7 comments

I've just installed the same thing on a
Pentium 4 (hp pavilion zd7000)
512 megs of ram running
slackware 10
kde 3.3
NVIDIA FX 5200 GO 128meg

It crashes immediately if xcompmgr is as a user.

It runs fairly stable but very well while its running if xcompmgr is ran as root. Superkaramba apps look terrible because there is a dropshadow around the app that shouldn't be there. The transparencies and dropshadows are very fast.

This is going to be amazing after they work the bugs out!

I'm trying to figure out how to modify the width of the dropshadow. Does anyone know how?

Baaghira-Tiger In Action

KDE Plasma Screenshots by zammi 9 comments

This is probably a stupid question but...

I downloaded magic control panel and I'm trying to figure out how to run it. The source tarball is corrupt so I installed via the RPM. It says it installed ok but I can't find the executable. What is the command to start the control panel?


Thanks,

Longhorn Winbar

Karamba & Superkaramba by damix69er 19 comments

What is the deal, if you don't like something no one is forcing you to download / install it....This guy spent time and energy on this project.....If someone wants to make there copy of linux look like windows then so be it...its about choice

Longhorn Winbar

Karamba & Superkaramba by damix69er 19 comments

Nice work! I find it amusing to screw with a co-worker who is a diehard Mac user by imitating his OsX box down to the last detail. Then spout off on how its entirely free...and how much did you pay for that mac? $4000?

I have a friend at M$ who would probably find this "Winbar" equally irritating!

Thanks!

My little KDE :)

KDE Plasma Screenshots by BeKhanx 4 comments

One way you could get the result you're after is by going to the panel menu, moving the main panel to the left or right side, so you don't accidently hit it when you are trying to use a karamba bar. Then set it to "hide" after 1 second. This will make the kicker invisible unless you move your mouse to the side you moved the kicker to.

my newest desktop

KDE Plasma Screenshots by Chris12349 3 comments

Yeah, Its accually a superkaramba theme called BC Karamba Bar
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=10480

I modified the top corner graphics slightly by adding the gradient to match the kicker background. Then if you click on the superkaramba theme you can press (alt f3) and set it to always stay on top. (Also remove the shadow if you have the kwin shadow patch). It's a hacked together way of getting the rounded corners but it works :)
