kluK . The smart thing to do

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:

My first theme for KDE. QTCurve, to be precise.

Included are two color themes, the original "kluK", with orange and green highlights, and the more subtle, elegant "Klump", with purple and blue.

This is supposed to be community driven, that's why it's on github. You are welcome to copy, fork, push, do whatever. I want as many people as possible to share the joy.

Also included is some firefox-css magic ;)

Cool theme, but what are the icons called? :)

Well, now I do have another problem with the kluK style. With switching from KDE 4.3 to 4.4 Kontact's navigator sidebar isn't displayed correctly anymore when I use your style. Kontact always starts with a sidebar of the width for tiny symbols without text though the icons are larger and there is text. The navigation sidebar also has a horizontal scrollbar - until I drag the window size one pixel bigger, smaller, whatsoever. Then the sidebar snaps back to the size it should be but doesn't remember that size. This only seems to happen with your style. Any idea?

Solved it myself after testing a lot of settings:

Can you please enable in Scrollviews "Scrollbars on the outside" in your theme? That's necessary to display the Kontact sidebar correctly in all icon sizes and with text.

I haven't found any benefit in the disabled option but maybe you know if there's a difference in any other part?

I love the look! Just one problem do I have with this: The menu bar in gtk-apps is completely black. How do I get a light font color for e.g. the menubar of OpenOffice?

I have to correct myself: Gimp, Inkscape etc. all look fine, it's just OpenOffice.org and Firefox that have black text on black background. How do I bribe them to show light text in the menu bar? Especially OOo is important for me.

Check the INSTALL file, there's a fix for Firefox described there.

I do not know about OOo, since I actually use MS Office in wine, which displays just fine.

I'll look into it though, thanks for the feedback!
