Oxygen KDE 4.5

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

Description:

Oxygen theme for emerald. This one is basically based on a theme that can be found here:
http://www.linux-look.be/gnome-emerald.html

or here:
http://compiz-themes.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+KDE+4.4.1?content=122284

The difference is:
- smaller size window control buttons (15px height, just as original KDE Oxygen theme)
- button distances resemble those in KDE's native Oxygen Styel: Close button is separated from Minimize and Maximize
- no glow and animation for control buttons in on hover state
- smaller size decoration borders (top, bottom, left, right)
- Black shadow instead of light blue

By and large, this theme attempts to provide a very close look and feel to what you would find in KDE's native Oxygen theme.

This is as far as I am motivated but you could take it one step further and actually recreate original Oxygen control buttons. The one used in this theme look a little differently.

As of today this theme looks like the only one available around that provides a close KDE Oxygen Style imitation.

Enjoy it.

It looks great thanks for your contribution but unfortunately I cannot join the efforts with you simply because I do not have time for that. Contact Phlox maybe he'll be interested or maybe someone else.

hi Dear,

you said in your writings, that your theme would be the only one, that would bring real close KDE-look.

This is not really true. Look at this artwork of the author phlox, that I found here in the section "Beryl".

ou can find it here:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+KDE+4.4.1?content=122284

Then perhaps, you should update your writing in some way, that your them is only one of several out here....
