The main points of this style is transparency and flexibillity. It is a good way to see the new arthur painting framework in QT4 in action. The style can be configured in a number of ways and colours in the boundled controll center.
The style is very slow with unaccelrated XAA Xrender. For more info about that see comments.
Check the homepage for info more info & screenshots.
Feel free to make constructive comments, especially on what that could make the style better.
PS! This style is not for KDE 4 directy, but for Qt 4 which KDE 4 will be based on.

Progress (2006-02-06)
Features in work:
* Configuration gradient editor (made from scratch) for customizeable gradients.
* Qt 4.0.x is not supported anymore, use Qt 4.1.0 or better.
* Editable comboboxes and spinboxes has a new layout
* Group boxes/frames etc. has a partly transparent background, which is combined when multiple boxes are nested.
* Some gradient colour editing options.
* Button corner size option
* Small fixes to the codebase done in the last 4 months.
Qlouds v 0.0.0.6a "Glossy tint" released:(2005-08-24)
New features:
* Glossy widget gradient, which also makes the buttons more round, and gives the border colour an alpha of 110 .
Thanks to Zammi for the idea, and Tomasu which created the mocup which it is based on.
PS! Because this is a minor release please download it (and the screenshot) from the website.
Qlouds version 0.0.6 "Animation madness" released:
Features:
* Animated widgets. Buttons & scrollbars in KDE4&QT4. Progress bars in QT4 only.
The button fades on keybord focus, and when the mouse is over it. The scrollbar & progressbar gradients is shifted gradually.
* Fuzzy edge drawing (including cosmetic errors, disabled by default).
* Crom gradient mode, for everybody who wants their buttons to look like they have been taken from the last Vista/Tiger screen shots.
* Conservative drawing mode, for those who wants their widgets to look more like Luna/Plastik/Clearlooks.
* The style demo program has been obsoleted by the configuration program, it is removed.
Fixed some small random drawing bugs.
See homepage for more and older changes.

Just from what I can see in these screenshots, it really is what I've been dreaming of.
Thank you a lot, as soon as I use KDE 4 I will use this and only this.
It's amazing how awesome the next releases will have to be (as even 4.0, which is very unstable and unfinished, is just great). You are making it even better.

You did a mistake of posting ugly screenshots there. Most of the people judged based upon those screenshots, that's why its ratings are poor.
You have done an amazing work to best utilize qt4 architecture! May be its source code would be a learning point for many of developers!

Worst limitations:

http://freqmod.dyndns.org/upload/i10.1.png (garbage on screen with transparent top widgets)

I don't like big numbering jumps like this one.. Why not releasing KDE 3.5 then KDE 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 ... before the KDE 4.0 !
I don't think anything worths moving to a big version number. To me it's a bit silly.

The style is not (nativly) made for KDE, but Qt 4 (as stated in the depends on field). Unfortunatly there are no Qt 4 themes/styles section, so I decided that KDE 4.0 fits better than other/theme style, and putted it here. It is possible to use this style in KDE 4 SVN.
The current kde 4 code is very unstable and not useable for coding or other "real" work.

This is not so easy to see when the grey background is used.
