Theme Idea from GNOME Community
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
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
I picked these screenshots from a Gnome discussion (http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6983&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) and likes to see anyone dares to start a style from our side as well [Don't forget we already have the deco - CRYSTAL as well :) and only transparency for menubar and status bar to be done in style (plastic - as a start) ]

when you do it becomes less about "oh i dont like this theme" and more like "oh it looks like Vista so i dont like this theme, i like --> [B][U]MAC[U][B] <-- interface better"
Besides no offense but that looks nothing like windows vista...

On X6.8 this feature cannot really be provided by the style, but must be supported by the windowmanager (kwin, the decos don't have enough acces to the window structure to do so)
I you (or anyone) writes a patch for kwin though, this will hold for all applications (whether qt or not) and on all styles.
Basically one will have to write ones own implementation of the composite manager (and it's probably a good idea to let this operate on kwin)
Dunno, if patches for kwin are allready in development (as x6.8 isn't final yet and afaik nvidia and ati (are there other gpus around ;) haven't released conforming xservers yet)

Considering the demand for 'fake transparency' in Kde, the real thing will be very popular. And for the people who'll hate it: it will be an option, just like color settings and the like.

i just wanted to point out:
1. this is not related to the style but to the windowmanager (if)
2. not on the current (classic, 6.7) xservers
i wonder if anyone is allready writing patches for kwin, or if this should rathjer be excluded (like xcompmanager) to allow developers to implement unique implementations of the composite engine (somehow like the decos are) - while some parameters could create allmost any shade of user interactive translucency effects (i also wonder if anyone feels capable to write something operating on the texture/shader parts of the gpu)

Example: In KDE it is possible to have, lets say a maximized window in the background and a small window in the foreground, but it is still possible to scroll or click in the maximized window without sending the small window to the background, where I can not see it. I think it would be a cool feature if this small window would turn semi-transparent, so that I can see everything of the big window. Another big advantage would be to turn other windows in the background semi-transparent and if you can activate them and bring them on top by clicking the space where this window (semi-transparent) is located. To make this more usable, any window should have a button to switch it to "not active" to make it semi-transparent and see all windows on your current desktop.
I think that would be a very useful feature in KDE (at least for me), if someone is interested, I could make some mockups.
